I think this is a great idea. At the very least I'd like to see everyone on LiveCode choose Valentina before they choose any other database. <div><br></div><div>"<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); ">- Consider a public web based Q&A forum, it makes it possible for</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); ">

<br>
First of all we want inform about this on this list to get some feedback.<br>
<br>
Here you can read details.<br>
<br>
<<a href="http://www.valentina-db.com/en/company/news/1-latest-news/257-paradigma-sof
tware-releases-free-business-ready-database-and-reports-server" target="_blank">http://www.valentina-db.com/en/company/news/1-latest-news/257-paradigma-sof<br>
tware-releases-free-business-ready-database-and-reports-server</a>><br>
<br>
<br>
So our idea is:<br>
<br>
* we want increase popularity of Valentina db<br>
* we understand that best way for this to allow some free usage.<br>
<br>
* We have choose Valentina Office Server with 5 connections to be free for<br>
almost everything:<br>
<br>
- not commercial projects<br>
- academic projects<br>
<br>
And<br>
- small business for usage in own office and development in-house apps<br>
<br>
<br>
===========================================<br>
Note 1:<br>
<br>
(!!!) Very important to understand, that free is not only Vserver/5.<br>
You and your clients can and should download trio:<br>
- VServer Office<br>
- Valentina Studio Pro -- to be able design reports if needed<br>
- any or all Valentina ADK you want.<br>
<br>
Remember rule: { Any VCLIENT is free }<br>
<br>
So you can use Vstudio and ADK to work with that vserver for free.<br>
Indeed. Valentina.InitClient() do not ask for serials. Right?<br>
<br>
But if you will need work with LOCAL DB, then serials are required for ADK<br>
and VStudio.<br>
<br>
<br>
===========================================<br>
Note 2:<br>
<br>
We think that VServer can looks more attractive than e.g. MySQL or Postgre<br>
server for small business office not only because of speed, db model, better<br>
API, but also because it is not just a DB server, but also REPORT server.<br>
<br>
As you may know, report server around mySQL/Postgre self can cost easy<br>
1500$ - $15,000 +<br>
<br>
<br>
===========================================<br>
Note 3:<br>
<br>
This free VSERVER/5 *CANNOT* be used for free for deployment of some app<br>
with it, i.e. When developer or soft-company make app and deploy it in<br>
compiled form. So this company has ownership of sources of the app.<br>
<br>
In this case, should work VDN - Valentina Embedded Server.<br>
<br>
<br>
===========================================<br>
Note 4:<br>
<br>
Will be helpful if you help us spread this news where you can ...<br>
<br>
Enjoy. :-)<br>
