Labview interface with MongoDb or similar NoSql database

[landlord]

Yeah. It did work! Thanks a lot!

Hey, I tried using the LabVIEW wrappers and the VI GetCollectionNames.vi is broken. The error I get states that the MongoDatabase node ( GetCollectionNames ) has an unwired node. Yet, no matter how many times I rewire the nodes, it remains broken. Any ideas on what the problem is or what the problem actually is?

It would help if you posted your VI.

It's located in the zip in message 7 of this Discussion forurm. The VI in question is GetCollectionNames.vi.

I was able to fix the issue when I modified the Get Collection Names.vi by deleting the database node that calls GetCollectionNames, created a new database node and setting it to GetCollectionNames, and wiring it. Go figure.

This is awesome,

but i have one doubt,

how can i assign the ID to the MongoDocument, i see that in this example you generate and ObjectID (Type) and ID, so,

if i need an ID like 1, 2, 3 how can i make it?

thanks anyway!!!!

and great work!

Hi EstebanVS,

You might want to try to make a new forum post. This one is over six months old, and there's a good chance the original poster won't reply.

Hi Esteban,

The _id field is the one which mongodb uses as a primary key, you can set it to anything (in the BSON record). In the mongodb docs there is a way to have an auto incrementing id (http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/create-an-auto-incrementing-field/).

Hope that helps! It's been a while since I looked at this.

wow, thanks for your reply guys,

i will look at it, but in the example you post theres no way to write right?

To make it happen you would edit the BSON creation to include a field called _id with the data type you need. The other option is to create a new field which is unique and create an index for it.
