Beginners RB Valentia Question

[Todd Fantz]

Thanks for the quick response.

The RBdatabase does have host, but it doesn't have port, so I don't  
know how to direct it at the Valentia server. The included example in  
valentia only connects to a disk based database.

So, I guess this is purely an RB database API question, but how do I  
specify the port?

Thanks,

tf
