Flexibility For Anything.
Valentina 1.x technology combines flexibility with a lean runtime engine. With a Valentina 1.x database SDK, you can build applications that store, manage and exports data according to your specifications.

• Store logical databases in up to four different logical files, each of which can hold up to 2 terrabytes of data.
• Import and Export your data into comma or tab separated text files. Use XML dump to create a brand new database in Valentina 1.x.
• Support for all common field types, plus additional field types which allow you to maximize the amount of text and picture data you store in a database (through data compression). See sidebar.

Control You Require.
Valentina provides complete control over your projects, even at runtime.

• Valentina 1.x doesn’t limit your ability to change database schema. You can change practically any object or parameter at runtime.
• Date management in Valentina 1.x lets you set up and change at runtime not only date formats but also date and time separators.
• Change your database extension so that it conforms to the specifications of your application.

Integrity and Security.
Valentina 1.x SDKs include what you need to ensure your customer’s data integrity and data security in building applications.

• Valentina’s ObjectPtr field provides full control over reference integrity, ensuring that after a deletion of a record, its pointer doesn’t remain and point to a non-existing record.
