Industrial Graphics Database integration

This doesn't answer your question directly, however, as another option, the native graphics builder has a tool called Database Exchange. This can show/edit/query a database in a grid view.

Hi William,

There is no native grid control offered with Plant SCADA's Industrial Graphics to nicely display results etc.

I've never actually done this but I guess you could write a script to make a connection and execute a command. e.g.

dim myConn as System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection;
dim myCommand as System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand;
dim mySQLReader as System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader;

myConn = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("add connectionstring here");
myConn.Open();
myCommand = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT TOP 10 FROM things", myConn);
mySQLReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
while(mySQLReader.Read())
{
	...
}

However, I don't have advice on whether it actually works, error handling or responsiveness or how to display the results.
