Re: saving labview data to a database

I have done this in a few of the programs I have written...
If you're unfamiliar with databases, you should first familiarize
yourself with SQL. I found <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp"; target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://www.sqlcourse.com/"; target="_blank">this</a> to be quite helpful, especially since they differentiated between the different database programs.

I have never had more than about 20 pieces of data to write to a database
(at once), so I always just used "concatenate strings" to build the SQL
string with the appropriate commands (INSERT etc.), and all my data (as
separate strings). I'm not sure what the best way to go about it with
larger amounts of data though, as this way would be quite cumbersome
and confusing.

Hope this helps.


Edit: I saw your last post... I'm not entirely familiar
with licencing, but I know <a href="http://www.mysql.com"; target="_blank">MySQL</a> is a popular low cost
alternative to things like Access...Message Edited by Novatron on 07-26-2005 02:18 PM
