Create virtual links automatically in databases where you need the functionality of foreign keys without creating foreign keys.
There are times when design constraints exist that keep you from adding foreign keys to a database, but you need to work with such a database as if they exited. This is where Virtual Links helps. This feature makes no changes to your database, but instead uses REGEX to create links outside of the database and within Valentina Studio PRO.
Set Up Virtual Links
You can set up Virtual Links with any supported relational database, including ValentinaDB.
 |
Locate your database within Valentina Studio and using the context menu, initiate Virtual Links... |
View Existing Virtual LInks
Virtual Links take the form of REGEX and make no modification to your database schema.
 |
The Setup Virtual Links dialog appears. You can use the default Virtual Links available or, you can add a new, custom Virtual Link by clicking the +. |
Testing Automatic Virtual LInks
You can test your new Virtual Links within Valentina Studio PRO.

Select your new Virtual Link and click the Test button. The Virtual Links generated appear in the Link Name List. |
