databases in labview

I need to build a database. I can do it with MS-ACCESS or with LABVIEW.
Anyway, I have to take data from that database and make some routines in
Labview.

What do you think is the best way of creating a database and manipulate it
(take values, put values, find strings,...)???

With Labview?? With Access and interactuate Access with Labview with
ActiveX in some form??

I was thinking about doing everything in Labview. Is it very difficult? Does
anyone have an example of creating and manipulating databases with Labview?

Thank you very much in advanced!!

Alvaro.

imho the best way is to use NI's SQL Toolkit. I just finished replacing some
old code that used ActiveX to interface to a MS Access database. The SQL
Toolkit bypasses Access altogether and is about three times faster. I can
also switch back and forth between Access and SQL Server without changing
any code.
