[NEW] Valentina Reports adds MS SQL as Datasource

It isn’t often we add a new database type, but this is one we’ve had a lot of requests for – MS SQL Server.

Today this happens! Valentina Reports starting from 5.5b15 can use MS SQL server as native datasource. Notice, that this works on all 3 OS: Windows + Mac OS X + Linux.

If you use MS SQL and you want to test it, you can download it here for all OS:
http://www.valentina-db.com/download/beta/5.5b20

Right now you can…

Download Valentina Studio to do the following steps…
Make a new Valentina Project (from File Menu) on your desktop
Make a new datasource — define to your MS SQL server
Make a new Report – can be with simple query as SELECT * FROM T, do click, click, click in the wizard to get default layout of fields.
Click PREVIEW button on the left to see report with data from your MS SQL Server.

To start use this new datasource in your application you need just to specify a corresponded string that describes datasource connection string. See details.

[FIX] Valentina for RB/Xojo: Mac + Linux updated the work with pictures

In new Xojo was changed the work with pictures for Mac/Cocoa and Linux.

We have improve plugin “Valentina for REALbasic/Xojo” to support these new formats. This fix affects both normal pictures and preview pictures in Valentina Reports.

[NEW][MAC] VStudio.app and installer of VServer_x64 now are signed

OS X 10.8 has option “System Settings -> Security -> General -> Allow: MAS App Store and identified developers” on default to be ON, so you cannot installed easy not signed applications and run installers. Note that 10.7 also can have this option enabled on some computers.

To resolve this issue, we have sign vstudio.app and vserver_x64.pkg installer.

Unfortunately we cannot easy sign other our installers (V4RB, V4REV, V4CC, … ) because we using third party installer. So for now, for 5.0, we going to ship these installers not signed. To run them, OS X developer should in the Finder do CTRL + click on icon of installer and choose OPEN command in the contextual menu. In this case you will see the button ALLOW in the OS X security dialog. Click it, and continue as usual.

[NEW] VKERNEL now can create journal at a specified location + Sandboxed Mac Apps with V4CC.

Frank have contact us with request add ability for V4CC (Valentina for Cocoa) developers to specify the location of journal of a database. This is important for sandboxed applications, which on default can access only their sandbox folder and a file(s) that user specify explicitly.

PROBLEM is that if a user choose somedb.vdb file in the SelectFile dialog , then Valentina engine needs yet to create a journal file near to .vdb file. But for a sandboxed application this is prohibited by OS X. This is why developer want to be able specify another location for journal file.

Btw, this problem exists more of year for SQLite database that is used e.g. in CoreData of Apple, when it is used by a sandboxed app. Strange, but the only advice from Apple is – disable journal file.

We have spend couple of days to add into C++ level and into V4CC ADK this feature. Rest ADKs soon.

Now you can write the following in V4CC:

[new] VSERVER as HTTP Server + Admin based on Valentina Reports

Few years ago we have added into Valentina Server HTTP port, so it have:

normal port
SSL port
HTTP port
SNMP port

We added this HTTP port to be able do the next step — implementing admin built-in right into VServer. So user can access from any browser this admin by HTTP. We see the following advantages of this:

it is enough install server on you mac/win/linux computer and this admin will be available immediately, without need in Apache/PHP/else.
this admin will allow to manage vserver from platforms where not exists VStudio or iValentina. For example Android users will be able manage VServer.

Such admin of vserver we was going implement on C++ of course.

But some time ago we have got idea to use Valentina Reports for this, which could do HTTP generation from report. We have spend some time to make couple of prototypes of this idea. And while we did them, we have already made few improvements in our Reports to support this. The most important are:

[NEW] Valentina Reports 5.0 Support mySQL Datasource

We are glad to inform you, that we already have working Valentina Reports engine with datasource from mySQL.

We have use one of BSD clients compatible with mySQL Server. This resolve any issues related with GPL-license of mySQL native drivers.

Please note, that this mySQL datasource for now works only for Valentina Reports ADK, but not in Valentina Studio – Report Editor. To prepare reports in the GUI Editor you need to use Valentina or Postgre or SQLite database with the same tables. But do not worry, in about 1.5-2 months we will introduce 5.x version of Valentina Studio, with full-featured mySQL plugin also.

Right now, you can make dump of schema of mySQL database, and load that dump into local Valentina DB, then use it as test-db to design report(s). Later, from ADK application, just specify mySQL datasource against this report(s). For mySQL you should use connection string of kind

theReport = my_project.MakeNewReport(
        "report_1",
        "mysql://host=192.168.2.33, user=admin, passw=admin",
        "SELECT fldName, fldPhone FROM tblPerson" )
