We have add to iValentina 4.9 TAB-panels, what allow you easy and immediately switch between different views to the same database or even work with different servers or databases at the same time.
Also you can tap and wait on some schema object to see contextual menu, that give you choice to open that object in a new TAB panel.
David Simpson has written an excellent article over on Omegabundle.com called Converting FileMaker Pro Databases into LiveCode Applications. dot com Solutions makes a powerful utility product called FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition that is a part of the latest Omegabundle for LiveCode 4.2011 offering. More than a utility, its really a one of a kind solution for porting Apple FileMaker Pro and Microsoft Access databases into full LiveCode applications, which in turn makes it possible to port the data store over to Valentina DB.
Valentina Reports now support ODBC datasource!
This is great, because now Valentina Reports can work with data stored practically in any database format (MS Access, MS SQL, Oracle, Postgre SQL, mySQL, … ) and even XML.
In Valentina Studio improved datasource dialog to support ODBC.
In a Valentina ADK code, you should specify connection string in the VProject.MakeNewReport( inDataSource ), as the following: odbc://dsn=access,user=name,pass=123
Will be available in the 4.9b5 build or newer.
There are many find-like methods which are able to employ indexes to speed up the searching (FindLike, FindRegEx, FindContains, and so on). Of course, the field must be indexed and search preference is set to kPreferIndexed.
But currently there are two issues when index search may bring a wrong result:
1.Index keeps only first 256 symbols of the value – so rest of the symbols are just ignored in such a search.
2. Index-By-Words index and multi-word searching pattern.
Some of the methods like FindRegEx don’t use an index-search but scan the table instead if any of the above occurred. The rest of the methods are less strict choosing the searching algorithm. Now you will get the warning in such cases and you can switch algorithm to not-index search (kPreferNotIndexed) if it is relevant (less speedy but more accurate). Also you should consider to change index type of such a lengthly fields to the index-by-words.
Warning examples:
“Index search in the first 256 symbols only : FindContains t1:f1”
“Index-By-Words search : FindContains t1:f1”
