Step by step.

I am opening wiki ... And follow to your questions:

Hmmm,  

1) 

I think this is mentioned right on SITE page about Valentina Studio.
FIRST page which visitor read about Valentina Studio is:
      
        http://www.valentina-db.com/valentina-studio-overview

Scroll down and ...

======================
SQL Editor

Write SQL queries fast using auto-completion, color syntax
Define and manage favorite queries
Recent queries
======================


2) now lets look in Valentina WIKI
   FIRST PAGE   <http://www.valentina-db.com/docs/dokuwiki/v5/doku.php>

I put my eyes into left TOC.

        Articles
        Valentina FAQ
        Valentina Features  -- Aha,  this can be interesting to learn

Click to Features,   Choose Valentina Studio

<http://www.valentina-db.com/docs/dokuwiki/v5/doku.php?id=valentina:features
:vstudio:vstudio>

All is described here... Yes Mark?


3) Another way ... Again from the top page of WIKI:
          <http://www.valentina-db.com/docs/dokuwiki/v5/doku.php>

I again put my eyes to left TOC

    Valentina Products
            Valentina Studio Documentation   -- choose it

On next page:
        Valentina Studio Help

We come to BIG and DETAILED section about Valentina Studio:

:vstudio:help:help>



> "there are many ways to find the server version" and

There was no such exactly answer.
But that info I have give you still can be found in
  Valentina Studio HELP
  Valentina SQL Grammar and commands.


> "why and how to register a new database".

Okay, so this is about Valentina Server, yes?
Can this be a FAQ ?

When I learn some new product for me, I always jump to its FAQ first of all,
Because usually here found main problems people meet.

So lets go again to FRSIT PAGE of Valentina WIKI
    <http://www.valentina-db.com/docs/dokuwiki/v5/doku.php>

In the left TOC I select
    Valentina FAQs

Then 
    Valentina Server FAQs

And I come to this page in TWO clicks
   
<http://www.valentina-db.com/docs/dokuwiki/v5/doku.php?id=valentina:faqs:vsr
v>

On this page in section "Databases" you can see answer on your question.



> The wiki often mentions

Yes, 
    REALBasic was renamed to Xojo
    Revolution to LiveCode ...

Unfortunately for us is hard do find/replace of this words in all places,
But yes we should do this step ....
