ValentinaServer as a plugin

Dear Ruslan,

I can't see why I would build a cursor if I don't display its result.
Just to display the number of found records?

Nope, I mean that the server implements something like a "software update":
your client connects to the server, the server checks if there is a newer
version of your client and uploads it to you if necessary.

Yes, that's true.
But what if there is a new "shopping basket" by night, when no client is
running?
Yes, there is a work around: a little programm that would do it separately.

Actually, for all the specific features I'd need, I could develop a
dedicated application/service that would behave just like a client to
ValentinaServer and would then be able to add/edit/delete records.

The fact is that my server performs many other things than just dealing with
the data across the network. Finding a workaround for each of them would
take me a lot of time. I thought that ValentinaServer as a RB plugin would
just avoid me to find and develop all these workarounds ;-) !

In the way we work here, in my company, we do need to see other users' work,
lively.
Anything added/edited/removed in the database is instantly displayed on all
computers. This feature works fine and is just great!

Thanks for your answer (fast, as usual)
