Valentina 2 Windows Foundation Database Suite Announced

COMPLETE TOOLS FOR DEVELOPMENT USING ALL MAJOR WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS

November 30, 2005. Beaverton, Oregon. Leading multi-platform database vendor
Paradigma Software, Inc, makers of the ultra-fast Valentina 2 Office Server,
announce next-generation suite of components and a complete suite of tools
for creating and deploying desktop and network based database solutions on
the Windows operating system. These tools are all based on the Valentina 2
database kernel.

Valentina 2's next generation, object-relational database model builds on
the traditional relational database model much like C++ builds on top of the
C language. All that you know from working with traditional database systems
from IBM, Oracle and Microsoft also apply to Valentina-based development.
This robust technology excels at ultra fast management of millions of
records. Valentina 2 utilizes a revolutionary new abstraction data model:
Links. Links are highly sophisticated structures that manage high speed, low
overhead handling of 1:1, 1:M, M:M relationships. Valentina Links include
ObjectPtrs and Binary Links, new reinterpretations of Foreign Keys. A
Valentina 2 kernel document on this system is available by free download on
the Paradigma Software website.

Valentina 2 Windows Foundation is a special version of Valentina Developer's
Network. With VDN (Windows Foundation), developers can develop and deploy
complete client-server database solutions to their customers, royalty free,
based on Valentina Embedded Server. Valentina 2 technology also supports XML
data/schema management, best practices Unicode for international
applications, Valentina SQL, 448-bit encryption, transparent file format
support across operating systems and many more features.

Valentina 2 Windows Foundation includes Valentina 2 C++ ADK Standard Edition
for Windows (available separately for $199), and Valentina Studio Admin
Edition for setting up, server start up and monitoring and other database
creation and management utility functions.

Also included in Windows Foundation (and available separately) are:

Valentina 2 COM ADK. High performance COM component for building desktop
database applications with COM-compatible tools such as Borland Delphi and
Microsoft Visual BASIC 6 (and earlier). Valentina 2 COM means you don't have
to use yesterday's database to ensure compatibility with your existing
infrastructure. Valentina 2 COM is also available separately for $199.

Valentina 2.NET ADK. Valentina 2.NET ADK empowers developers to deploy
enterprise-ready, database enabled desktop solutions with any language
compliant to the Microsoft .NET CLR. The current beta works with Framework
1.1, while the final shipping release will support Framework 2.0. Valentina
2.NET ADK is also available separately for $199.

Both ADKs include Data Client components for simultaneously querying both
local databases and remote database servers, including Valentina Office
Server.

VDN (Windows Foundation) also allows developers access to two years of
software maintenance, test copies of Valentina Office Server, reseller
pricing on Valentina Office Server and special promotion opportunities. VDN
(Windows Foundation) pricing starts at $599, with support options in
multiple languages.
