Some years ago I was dreaming of a flexible and fast database which is able to store different types of data which then can be accessed through various APIs and Platforms. None of the databases I knew of offered only parts of this functionality. And talking to database-developers was practically impossible... But there was one company who listened and came up with the most powerful, fast and flexible (local) database-kernel I ever worked with.

Valentina gave me all the power to realize some big projects on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM which were impossible to maintain before. It handled any amount of data I needed, very fast. And I was finally able to fill the content of the database (in Realbasic and/or AppleScript) using standard-editorial software (like Filemaker Pro) and use the same(!) database in a multimedia production (using Macromedia Director) without any modification. It saved me so much money and time that even if I had to pay ten times the current licenses, it would still have been a good deal.
