Valentina Technology Update 16
Most Valentina products natively incorporate three internal database systems: ValentinaDB, SQLite and DuckDB. ValentinaDB is Paradigma Software's flagship high performance database system with over 25 years of updates and improvements.
- ValentinaDB Extensions. You can build custom extensions for the ValentinaDB database system using C, C++, Python or JavaScript. These can include scalar functions, aggregate functions and procedurals that can provide access to external data sources and file formats.
- Regression Analysis. SQL 2003 aggregate functions for regression analysis are added to ValentinaDB (REGR_SLOPE, REGR_INTERCEPT, REGR_COUNT, REGR_R2, REGR_AVGX, REGR_AVGY, REGR_SXX, REGR_SYY, REGR_SXY).
- SQL Improvements. The RETURNING clause can now be used with the INSERT statement in ValentinaDB
- SQLCipher Encryption for SQLite. Encrypt, modify and decrypt SQLite databases using this popular, open source 256 bit AES encryption of database files and other security features
- Architectural improvements. Third party engines become extensions. JavaScript, Python, DuckDB and SQLite are re-engineered as extensions. This makes it possible to remove the engines if they are not needed for deployment
Valentina Technology Update 16 is included across all Paradigma Software products including:Â Valentina Studio (Free Version), Valentina Studio PRO, standalone versions of Valentina Server, and Valentina Developer Network, an OEM developer product that allows developers to deploy copies of Valentina Server to their customers, royalty free and no limits on numbers of deployment.

About Paradigma Software
A US corporation, Paradigma Software Incorporated, was established in Oregon in 1998. Paradigma Software’s initial product launch was with ValentinaDB, a post-relational, columnar database technology, a result of Ruslan Zasukhin’s innovative database research. Mr. Zasukhin investigated database systems, aiming to solve the problems of size, speed and complexity inherent in traditional relational database systems. ValentinaDB maximizes available resources by making data based tasks extremely fast and efficient. Since then, Paradigma Software launched Valentina Studio data management tools and Valentina Server.
