On the 20th anniversary since the first release of Valentina 1.0, the fast object-relational database management system, Paradigma Software announces Release 9 of the Valentina Platform of data management and data visualization tools.
Valentina Studio Pro 9 is the advanced database management and visual development tool available on Linux, Windows and macOS. It supports all major databases including MySQL, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MariaDB and ValentinaDB. It includes features that most other vendors sell separately, such as forward engineering diagramming, SQL DIFF, Database Continuous Integration and more.
Studio Pro 9 also a powerful Report Designer for creating reports. These reports can be used within the free version of Studio, registered with Valentina Server 9's incorporated Report Server, and also deployed to most development platforms on Windows, Linux and macOS using the Valentina Reports ADK product. Studio Pro 9 also has a visual Forms Designer for creating flexible, JavaScript scriptable forms that can be deployed royalty free to users of the free version of Valentina Studio. Valentina Forms is a cost effective and powerful way to create a forms based platform for your office or clients. Forms are stored in a Valentina Project so they can also be served from Valentina Server.
