Studio gains column sorting actions in the Data Editor and improved static analysis for UNION/EXCEPT queries in the SQL Editor. ValentinaDB's JavaScript extension on macOS now supports the fetch function for HTTP/REST access. The Reports ADK also adds BLOB field reading via ODBC and improved count summary formatting. ## Content Also improved JavaScript support for ValentinaDB, a new reports property, and improvements to Studio SQL Editor and Data Editor. Download : [Studio](https://valentina-db.com/en/studio/download) | [Server](https://valentina-db.com/en/download-valentina-server) **Valentina Studio** Valentina Studio is the free, all purpose database management tool suite. Valentina Studio PRO adds more powerful diagramming features, more powerful visual builder tools for databases, forms creation, reports designer and more. Improvements include: - [New][Data Editor] Added Sort Ascending, Sort Descending, and Clear Sorting actions to the column context menu. The context menu indicates the active sorting direction. - [New][Report Editor] Added the evaluation_time property to Bar Code, Chart, Ellipse, HTML, Label, Line, Picture, Rectangle, and Shape controls. - [Imp][Data Editor] Renamed Find Column to Go to Column in menus, tooltips, and the shortcut reference. - [Imp][SQL Editor] Improved static analysis and identifier resolution for UNION, UNION DISTINCT, and EXCEPT queries. **Valentina Reports** Valentina Reports ADKs allow developers to embed reporting into their applications. ADKs are available for many native development systems including C/C++, Java, .NET, Swift, Xojo and many more on Windows, macOS & Linux. Valentina Reports Server is a part of Valentina Server. Improvements include: - [New][MongoDB] Added support for complex MongoDB reports with grouping, sorting, and SQL expressions. - [Imp] Count summaries now use the configured value formatting. - [Imp][ODBC] Added support for reading BLOB fields. **Valentina for Xojo** The Xojo development environment supports multiple compile targets, including macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and more. Valentina Database and Reports ADKs are available for Xojo as standalone solutions for developers, and include a free CLIENT component for native integration with Valentina Server. This release adds a set of self-contained VReport examples that use the same report layout with different datasources. Each example includes a Xojo project, a report project, the required sample data or setup files, and a README explaining how to run the example and, when required, how to set up its datasource. - SQL Example(s). ValentinaDB, SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, DuckDB, ODBC, and Parquet examples demonstrate parameterized reports with different SQL datasources. The ODBC example shows how to use MySQL through a configured DSN. The Parquet example exposes files in a folder as tables and joins them using SQL. - NoSQL Example. The MongoDB example uses an aggregation pipeline with $lookup stages to join collections, passes a typed query parameter, and reads BSON Binary icons. - JSON Example. Demonstrates passing flattened JSON records directly to MakeNewReportFromData, without a database or datasource string. - Scripting Example(s). JavaScript and Python examples request nested data from HTTP APIs, transform it into flat report records, and generate a report without a database datasource. **ValentinaDB** ValentinaDB is Paradigma Software advanced, object relational database and available in ValentinaDB Server (a part of Valentina Server) and ValentinaDB ADKs (developer components for adding runtime database support to applications). Improvements include: - [Imp][JavaScript][macOS] Enabled the fetch function in the JavaScript extension. This allows JavaScript used in Forms, Reports, and scripts to retrieve data from HTTP/REST services. This release is now available on the [Paradigma Software download site](https://valentina-db.com/en/all-downloads).
