REAL Software Ships REALbasic 2007 R4; Improves Databases, Support for Ubuntu
REAL Software has released REALbasic 2007 Release 4 with database improvements and support for Ubuntu with their Linux deployment. We applaud REAL Software’s support for Ubuntu. Paradigma announced support for Ubuntu at Ubuntu Live in July 2007, and delivered the free Valentina Community Server. Valentina Office Server and Valentina Embedded Server have been available since April 2007 on Linux, with direct cross platform connectivity from REALbasic applications and connectivity from Valentina Studio.
REAL Software also has a statement of support from Actual Technologies, which provides ODBC drivers that work on MacOS X. It is not clear to me if, deploying applications on MacOS X, that REALbasic developers must utilize Actual Technologies drivers or not. Actual Technologies sells ODBC connectivity on a per seat basis and is well known as a provider of ODBC solutions to the Macintosh developer community. Valentina developers though have a built in solution with Valentina Studio that can be had at no added cost.
Valentina Studio can connect with ODBC sources, allowing fast and easy conversion to the native Valentina database format, as well as any export formats supported by Valentina. Valentina Studio is included with Valentina for REALbasic Professional and VDN Platform Edition (REALbasic version).
