Thanks Rolf, for such a complete answer.

The background to the question is that customers of RT platforms occasionally want to interface directly to an ODBC network. We (as in NI) have always recommended your approach, i.e. to have an app running on a GPOS to receive data from RT and pipe into the database. I was just curious to see if anyone had tried "implementing the actual database network protocol", because if they had, I'd love to refer customers to them.

Thanks again,

Gerardo

You'll need a machine to serve the ODBC DB so check-out http://www.mackinfo.com/plexxium.html' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">Plexxium (TM Mack Information Systems). I wrote the initial version for them and they have since then converted to SQL so that app qualifies (it is also CFR-11 compliant). If you contact them ask for "Matt" and tell them that "Ben sent you."

Hey Ben,

I'm not quite following how Plexxium fits in. I'm not well versed in database talk, so I may need a primer.

Thanks,

Gerardo

Howdy,

Has anyone here created an interface between a LVRT system directly to an ODBC database?

Thanks,

Gerardo

Howdy,

Since my name and extension appear in this thread, I felt obliged to reply

The FAQ in the post above was a working document and not meant to be shared externally, meaning there could be some mistakes in it. I would instead point you to an excellent application note on the NI Developer Zone called Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable. It answers most questions about the shared variable feature in LabVIEW.

As always, the NI support team is ready to help if there are any unanswered questions on the shared variable. Of course, if the shared variable is making your LV development life wonderful, I love hearing success stories, too.

Best regards,
