Database toolkit install

Database toolkit install problem – multi versions
I have 2 versions of LV installed on a W7 box. The Database Connectivity Toolkit runs fine for the 2009 version. The 8.6 version has broken VIs. Error message - expired or invalid licence.
The tool was not installed properly but every time I try to install it the installer tries to overwrite the 2009 version instead of the 8.6 version. When I do a custom install and try and set the correct location, the installer overwrites the location I set and adds a LV2009 directory.
How can I install it to the correct version of LV?

By taking the same version of the Toolkit as the version of LabVIEW is where you want to install it.

Install database toolkit

I just realized that I didn't install my database toolkit during my labview installation. What is the quickest way to go back and just install that kit alone? Which DVD should I execute first?
Yik
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

Hi,
Which version are you installing?
In our Academic Site License 2008 (LV 8.6) pack, the Database Toolkit is in the green DVD - LabVIEW Extended Development Suit.
The 2010 Spring and Fall DVDs are here with me too, but I haven't installed them so far. So not sure about the new arrangements.
Once you put the appropriate DVD in the driver, and start installation, you will have possibility to install the extra toolkits you install. Be careful, you will have to select all the components that you want to install (or keep, if already installed), otherwise, it will overwrite the new selection over the existing one. So please make sure you are marking all the toolkits you require (including the ones you already have on your computer).
I hope this helps.

How to create a database in SQL Server Express 2014 to be used with LV Database Toolkit

I use LV Database Toolkit, which by default uses Jet database. Now I want to use SQL database with LV Database Toolkit. I have downloaded and installed "SQL Server 2014 Express with Tools" in my Labview Laptop. Now I want to create a database in SQL Server, because I think it is a requirement for creating a "udl connection file" (*.udl file). Please help me!
Solved!

I made a database whose path is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\depot1
I tried to make .udl connection file, but when I click on "test connection" with the provider: "OLEDB Provider for Microsoft SQL Server" I get the Error "UDL Connection File Failure" (attached below)
When I tried to make the .udl connection file with the provider "Microsoft SQL native Client 11.0" and when I click on "Test Connection" I get the Error" UDL Native Client_1"& " UDL Native Client_2".
Please help!
Thanks!

Database Toolkit with Access 2010

Fellow wireworkers,
I have been using MS Jet to connect with an Access2003 database using the Database Connectivity toolkit for a few years now.
New project, LabVIEW2009, MS Office2010 (32bit) on Windows7 (64-bit).
Database Connectivity toolkit installed, example still uses Labview.mdb example database and MS Jet.
Installed the MS Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable,
Set the connection string with the UDL file to "“Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=[path]\TestDatabase1.accdb" per instructions on the MS DBE 2010 site,
pressed the Build... button on the DataLink Properties wizard dialog,
Set the Machine Data Source to MS Access Database Type:User pressed OK and got this:
Ideas?

From: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280478.aspx
Note
On a 64-bit computer, you must run packages that connect to Microsoft Access data sources in 32-bit mode. Both the Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider and the OLE DB provider for the Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine are only available in 32-bit versions.
hmmm... I don't know enough about 64-bit Win7 (running MS Office 2010 32-bit). Will need to dig a bit deeper, but as Dennis suggests, my problem could be with Microsoft not LabVIEW.
...Just tried launching the UDL dialog on my 32-bit Win7 laptop running LabVIEW9.0.1(32-bit) and get the identical error (freeze).
When I launch the UDL dialog on my 32-bit Win7 laptop running LabVIEW10.0(32-bit), the UDL dialog works correctly.
Both attempts are after running LabVIEW "as administrator".
I also noticed the LabVIEW10.0 UDL launcher does not flash the "Create Data Link" helper vi that displays an "Initializing" progress bar.
It still could be a Win7 32/64 bit thing, but LabVIEW10.0 works while LabVIW9.0.1 freezes the UDL dialog...
...and yes... my University lab is managed by IT and they have not yet deployed LabVIEW2010 as the upgrade was received too close to the start of the fall semester.
I'll keep digging, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

Database toolkit

Hello!
I want to import to Labview two colums of a MySql database.
One of this columns is a column of double. I use database variant data to data, and I specify that is double with a constant....but it appears an error message that cannot convert the input data in this data type.
Someone knows the better way to read in Labview the information of a database....if is a colum of double.....and if is a column of data/time.
P.Derhaps this block only allows you import one element??In this case how i can import it? An Vi's example would help me a lot.
Thanks!!

Hi Bob,
What specific errors are you getting? Does the problem come when the program is run or right when you open it after saving for the previous version? If you already have the Database Connectivity Toolkit 2009 installed (it sounds like you do) we should check to make sure it is activated. To do this use NI License Manager (Programs>>National Instruments>>NI License Manager). If you have not activated products with NI License Manager in the past, it is discussed here.
If you do have the Database Connectivity Toolkit 2009 installed and activated, try to repair the install. Follow the steps in the How can I Repair my LabVIEW Installation? Knowledge Base, but repair the install of the Database Toolkit not LabVIEW.
The next option would be to completely uninstall and reinstall the toolkit. If installing from the disc doesn't seem to be working, try the online Database Connectivity Toolkit download
I hope that info is helpful!

Database Toolkit compile problem

We are using the
Database toolkit with Labview 8.2.
If a vi that calls a Database vi is used on
several computers then Labview will ask to save it with the following changes :
VI recompiled and sub vi calls modified.
This happens even if nothing was
changed.
This does not happened
on the computer on which the vi was formerly saved but systematically on all
other computers.
The software configuration
is exactly the same on all computers. The entire Labview directory has been
mass compiled on each of them.
This is very annoying
as we have a lot of database vi’s in our program and all the changes applying
to them hide the real changes to other vi's.
Moreover we are working with an SCM tool
(perforce) which oblige us to have exactly the same vi’s on each machine.
Thank you for your
help.

Hello,
For those following this issue, this was reported to R&D
(#41EBTL3Q) for further investigation. As
it turns out, the problem is that the database toolkit is using strict type
definitions. This would normally not be
significant, except that there is a small problem with LabVIEW recompiling the
typedef when it has already been mass compiled (as is required for the database
toolkit in LabVIEW 8.2).
There is another workaround:
1) Install LabVIEW and the
database toolkit on all your development machines
2) Mass compile the database
toolkit (vi.lib/addons/database) on all the machines
3) Copy the vi.lib database
folder of one of these computers (usually found at: C:\Program Files\National
Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\addons\database) to a CD (or media of your
choosing)
4) Replace this folder on all of
the other computers with the folder from the CD
5) Use the toolkit as normal
If this doesn't work, you can
also probably check in the toolkit folder to perforce, and just have the users
check it in/out each time, but this situation is a little less than ideal, and
we have not tested it.
This problem will NOT affect the execution of the toolkit
(or LV in
general). Most users will only be inconvenienced
by this problem when using Source Code Control.
Have a great weekend!

Application doesn't work after build (database toolkit and report gen toolkit).

I wrote an application using database toolkit and report gen toolkit to retrieve some data from a database, put into a Word doc, save the Word doc and print it. It works fine when I run the vi, but when I build and run it, it does nothing. I have tried all of the settings in Projec Manager that I think might help but it still won't work right. Labview 8.2.1, XP.
Thanks,
Charlie
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the help. I finally abondened the Word append table and used the regular report gen append table and got it to work fine. The error was 214682314. That led me to the thread about column numbers must vbe between 1 and 63, but like I said, my coulumn number is 7 so don't know what is going on. Anyway I got the vi to work and do what I want so I guess now the problem is solved (moot).

How can I delete a row in access using the database toolkit?

I want to delete just one row of a access table using the database toolkit. Can it be done and if so How?

Take a look at page A-1 of the database connetivity manual. It has information on making a sql query that will delete. You will need to use this command with the dbtools execute query function. Look in the shipping examples for an example with this function.

SQL Query Works in MS SQL Server 2008 but not when using Database Toolkit

I have this SQL query:
DECLARE @DataTypeTable TABLE (
Name varchar(128),
TypeID INT)
--Add comma delimeted data type names to temp table
INSERT INTO @DataTypeTable (Name)
SELECT * FROM WhatWeShouldDoRead.func_Split(@DataTypeTrimmed,',')
SELECT Name FROM @DataTypeTable
Which takes a comma delimited string and returns the string as a table. It works correctly in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. When I run this as a stored procedure I get back nothing. There are no errors, SQL or otherwise. I've verified that I am connected to the correct database and that the stored procedure is loaded by changing the no error string that is reported from this stored procedure (that code is not shown in the above example). Has anyone seen this problem before, or have any experiance with SQL/Labview interfaces to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After doing some more research it appears that the database toolkit cannot interface with any table results from any type of temp table. It may have to do with the fact that MS SQL 2008 stores temp tables in a seperate database (tempdb) and not the database you are currently connected to. See this link for a good artical on temp tables:
http://databases.aspfaq.com/database/should-i-use-a-temp-table-or-a-table-variable.html
If possible, I'd like a someone to prove me wrong, but for now will have to settle for exporting the contents of a temp table through a string.

Using SQLplus command in LabView Database toolkit

Hi ,
I would like to ask something but before that this is my set up background
OS : Win 7,
LabVIEW : 2012
I have successfully connected with Oracle database using Labview Database toolkit.
The problem now is since I need to query the data from the database,
it will takes time for the labview to process it (since there is so much data in a specific table),
let say that the table in database is "Serial Number", and the data that I want from that table is "SN123"
if I query the data from that table, the labview will process it in a long time since it will not only give me "SN123" but also other data inside the "Serial Number" table.
(Refer to attachment)
but if in SQLplus, there is a command that can be execute to specifically call the "SN123" data,
For the SQLplus, the steps to retrieve the data is like this:
1. Key in the command to get the ID of the "SN123"
2. Key in the command "SN123" ID to retrieve the data.
I wonder if there is a way to put this command on labview database so it will be faster to retrieve the data.

An instrument driver written in Labview, is not the same as a instrument driver used by say Windows. A Labview instrument driver uses standard Labview functions to send SCPI commands to the instrument. You can learn a lot about the instrument by looking into the Labview instrument driver, and how it sends the commands to the instrument. But having the instrument programming manual at hands is also important.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How to connect labviewv database toolkit to SQL CE server

Dear sir,
i am using labview 8.2.1 and Database Connectivity 8.2.i need same simple concept of how to connect LV database toolkit to SQL CE Server.

When opening the database connection, you will need to provide either a connection string, or a path to a UDL (which will contain a conenction string). The easiest way to get a connection string is to go to (no I am not kidding) www.ConnectionStrings.com. Once there you enter the type of DBMS you are trying to connect to, and the system will list connection strings that you can use based on the drivers that you're using.
How much experience do you have with LV and/or databases?
