[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.

[NEW] Valentina Studio – Server Admin – now shows logs of mySQL and PostgreSQL
We have added ability to show log files of mySQL and PostgreSQL in Server Admin of Valentina Studio 5.5.
mySQL have two kinds of logs: as files and stored in the sys tables. File logs can be accessed by SSH connection, sys table logs can be access by SQL commands of mySQL. You can work with both these kinds of mySQL logs now.
postgreSQL also have two kinds of logs: in default format and in CSV format. Native SQL commands of postgreSQL can work with the first format. CSV format logs can be views only via SSH connections. You can work with both these kinds of postgreSQL logs now.
Note that for SSH vstudio opens one more connection to load that log files as from FTP.
See pictures:

[VStudio][mySQL] Speed improved A LOT! Reading for Constraints
Speed of opening a mySQL database that has ForeignKeys improved a lot!
Few people have report that Valentina Studio 5.3 for them is very very slow on open of a mySQL database. After some investigation we have found that problem comes from simple, legal official commands to mySQL server, which return list of constraints. We need this to build the list of FK of a Table or even of a Database. mySQL is incredibly slow on this operation.
We have take a look on other tools and with wonder we have found that they all use next trick: They ask via “SHOW CREATE TABLE T” the SQL string of “CREATE TABLE” command for a Table T, then they parse it to extract info about constraints.
We even have start implement this way also, but few days later was found that mySQL loose huge time collecting statistic. We have disable flag ‘innodb_stats_on_metadata’ and bingo! Speed becomes as fast as it should be.
So we have add into Valentina Studio ability to disable this flag. Added checkbox into “Add Bookmark” and into “Connect To” dialogs. On default it is ON.
Do not worry, this flag and this statistic have no many sense. We do not understand, why it is enabled on default in mySQL.
You can right now download and test beta build with this improvement: http://www.valentina-db.com/download/beta/5.4b5 or newer.
