Getting out...

Well folks, I'm jumping ship from Valentina to RealSQLServer.  In 7  
months of trying to get Valentina Server installed, trying to get  
Valentina Studio to work without crashing, and trying to understand  
the quirky installation, execution, and documentation, enough is enough.

I downloaded RealSQLServer the other day, installed and configured it,  
and am ACTUALLY WRITING WORKING CODE inside of an hour in RealBasic.   
I NEVER had this level of success with anything in Valentina.

I've said it here, and to Ruslan, Valentina may be the greatest  
product in the world, but Valentina is not a polished product.  From  
the installers to the documentation, to the Valentina Studio app.   
Today's experience with RealSQLServer just opened my eyes to how much  
polishing Valentina needs.

I never had the overwhelming "need for speed", just needed it to be up  
and running.  RealSQLServer provided that, the manual is very well  
written, and the pricing is in line with other solutions.  It runs  
correctly, it launches correctly, and the admin utility provided  
everything I needed to get going right away.

So, bottom line is, I'm out of here.  If anyone is interested in  
purchasing a Valentina Developer License for RB, let me know off list.

Thank you to Ruslan and all others who have helped me try and make it  
work along the way.

Jeff J.
