Old fashion Database (Data-storage) Systems

Not too long ago, this was the only data-storage device most
companies needed. Those days are over.
Database Systems
• A Database is a structured way to store lots of information.
The information is stored in different tables.
• - “Everything” today is stored in databases!

Examples:
• Bank/Account systems
• Information in Web pages such as Facebook, Wikipedia,
YouTube, etc.
• … lots of other examples! (Give me 5 examples)
Database Management Systems (DBMS)
• Oracle
• MySQL
• MariaDB
• Sybase
• Microsoft Access
• Microsoft SQL Server
• ... (we have hundreds different DBMS)

SQL
Structured Query Language

Hans-Petter Halvorsen, M.Sc.


What is SQL? Theory

• SQL – Structured Query Language


• SQL is a standard language for accessing
databases – and manipulate data
• SQL is not case sensitive
Example:
select SchoolId, Name from SCHOOL

We use the “SELECT” command in order


to get data from the Database
Table
Columns
Theory
SQL – Structured Query Language
Query Examples:
• insert into STUDENT (Name , Number, SchoolId)
values ('John Smith', '100005', 1)

• select SchoolId, Name from SCHOOL

• select * from SCHOOL where SchoolId > 100

• update STUDENT set Name='John Wayne' where StudentId=2

• delete from STUDENT where SchoolId=3


We have 4 different Query Types: INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE
Lets Create some Examples from Scratch
Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC)

Hans-Petter Halvorsen, M.Sc.


ODBC
ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a standardized interface (API) for accessing
Theory

the database from a client. You can use this standard to communicate with
databases from different vendors, such as Oracle, SQL Server, etc. The designers
of ODBC aimed to make it independent of programming languages, database
systems, and operating systems.
Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Data Sources (ODBC)
We will use this ODBC Connection later
in LabVIEW in order to open the
Database Connection from LabVIEW

Note! Make sure to use the 32


bit version of the ODBC Tool!
ODBC – Step by Step Instructions
The Name of your
ODBC Connection

The Name of your


SQL Server

Select the Database


you are using

Use either Windows


or SQL Server
authentication Test your
(Windows is simplest connection to see
to use!) if its works
