Win CE ODBC databes

[MGabor]

Hello!
I want to ask about Labview applications under Windeos CE 4.2. Am I able to bulid a VI (later exe) with Touch Panel module, that can make any kind of database (maybe ODBC), from the input datas. If not, is there any other mehtod or idea, to make an database from input data?

Other question: If i want to read data from serial port with VISA, shall I need to install VISA and VISA runtime on the target device (win ce)?

Thank you for your help!

I am not sure about the database part.

To install VISA, please follow the instructions in the following document:

Also. ODBC isn't a database, it's an interface built into windows that provides a standardized way of communicating with databases. What database are you using? What are you going to be doing with the data?

Hi!
I need to manage the incoming data on Win CE. I read the serial port, than the datas need to be transfered via internet, 3G or something like this (i am able to do this on CE?), to an host pc (with Win 7 or XP). These datas need to be built in a database. They told me in need to make the database ODBC compatible. The question is...shall i build some kind of database on the pc where im obtaining the data (kind of cluster or array maybe), or its better to transfer the input right away to the host PC, and there i can manage it. The last opportunity sounds better, because there i can build easy databases (database module) from the input.

Thank you for your helpness!

There is no need or value in writing your own database as there are literally dozens of off-the-shelf for you to close from.
