This is an issue somewhat related to the one about threading. Does
Valentina supports ACID transactions to protect the integrity of
data. My understanding is that Oracle does, while a low end dbms
such as Filemaker does not. Also, what does Valentina have for a
recovery system? Can you start with the last backup and then apply a
transaction log to get back to the point where the database failed?
