Let me chime in that there are two different aspects of using 
valentina, each with its own level of complexity and learning curve.

1. Using valentina as a database engine in metacard -- quite easy and 
not much to learn

2. designing and maintaining databases, particularly when taking full 
advantage of relational features -- that can be easy or a can of 
warms depending on your background and experience. But many issues 
here have little to do with Valentina per se.
