I think this will happens in June


Btw. I have made small test SQL Lite vs Valentina.
Just one string field and few numeric.
Add 100k and 1M of records.

Size of Valentina database is 30% less, even although Valentina
Store data as UTF16.

This was without indexes. Indexes even more add diference.

Probably.
