With your app will be deployed few our dlls,
    vreport, vshared, ...

They will be copied on final step when you prepare RELEASE build of app
Into YourApp.app  bundle.

This is clear.

With Valentina you can do everything that with SQLite and more :)

Look.  

1) You CAN use your own db engine - SQLite.
And use it as datasource with Valentina Report Engine.

2) you can also use Valentina DB engine also if you want this.
Then you will need covert you SQLite DB into Valentina DB ...
Bonus here -- Valentina can be much faster of lite on big dbs ...
Exists other bonuses also ...


3) yes, we have single-user engine, which embedded into standalone app, so
app works with local Valentina db files without any Vservers.

Yes, we have VSERVER (okay think about it as analog of CubeSQL),
 which allow open some .vdb file for multi-user access.

Yes, we need change only 1-2 lines of code in RB code for this ...


4) yes, you can make application using
                RB + V4RB  {vkernel + vclient + vreport}

Which can do everything:
    open one or more local Valentina dbs
     connect to one or more Vserves and open dbs from there
     generate reports (PDF / HTML / ... )


Then you can sale 1000 copies of this app, and your users can start with own
local vdb file.  IF somebody says: Hmm, I want multi-user, you tell them
download and install free VSERVER/5 (5 connections), drop their vdb file
into databases folder and bingo -- they have  client/server DB.

Not bad yes?  Zero additional payments for this scenario also ...
Just important is that user self download and install vserver/5 and get own
names license ...


5) Also note, that Valentina Server is both DB + REPORT server.

You can put .vsp file (reports here) into vserver/projects/ folder, and then
few applications will connect to it and ask generate reports. This means
that will work vserver/vreport.dll, but not yourApp.app/vreport.dll
And this means that VSERVER computer CPU will be loaded.

For example this can be cool, if client has weak hardware -- iphone, iPAD
...
