yes

VCOM can use SQL and API ways.
VNET also can use Classes way.

Ah, you ask about DB models...

One developer have told about binary links:
    wow! So easy! So powerful!
 
Note, Object-Relational model still IS relational model PLUS something more.
You can start with relational model, then start use some Valentina features.

* In worse case you will need just add $199 ADK

* but important to note, that with Valentina Server you can use ANY
Valentina ADK as client for FREE.

i.e. You purchase VDN + COM, but then at any time download V4RB or VPHP
    and use that ADKs with your Valentina Servers as clients.
