Valentina is an object-relational database management system that makes it easy to switch between a local embedded database and server using the same sources. It supports disk and in-memory databases, field types from Bit to BLOB, an SQL-92(99) and non-SQL application programming interface (API), and relational, extended navigational, and OR data models. It introduces a revolutionary[neutrality disputed] abstraction "Link" implemented in both the API and SQL. It works natively in 16-bit Unicode Transformation Format, can accept 270 encodings, and has advanced features such as regular expressions, XML, full-text search, pictures, functions, and calculated fields.
