Okay, let me know if I can help in any way.

Terrific! Are you using the mcl directory and putting your functions in 
there? If so, is the .system loading working for you?

Have you looked at CLSQL? If you like, we can work on adding your 
Valentina API to the interfaces and integrate your backend with CLSQL's 
front-end.

Currently, I'm working on organizing CLSQL to work as a backend for 
UncommonSQL. So, with your work, I suspect you'll soon be able to run
UncommonSQL using Valentina with MCL!
