[NEW] Valentina Reports adds Oracle as Datasource

We almost forgot when talking about MS SQL Server support that Valentina Reports can also use  Oracle Database Server as a datasource. You can do this on all three supported operating systems with Valentina Reports ADK 5.5, with a little help from Valentina Studio Pro. And you don’t need Java or expensive solutions like Crystal Reports, Actuate or Oracle’s BI Publisher.

Consider also that there’s a Valentina Reports ADK for every major development environment – .net, Objective-C, C++, even COM, and RAD tools like LiveCode, Xojo or even…unbelievably…Adobe Director!

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 Oracle 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 Oracle 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.

Valentina Studio on Mac App Store

Valentina Studio 5.1 is now available for free through Mac App Store. Valentina Studio 5.1 was recently released with support for SSH, making it your best choice for working with virtual hosting services and the databases you may have stored there.

Valentina Studio on the Mac App Store also has in-app upgrading to Valentina Studio Pro for your convenience.

[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:
