Databases
Overview
CX-Supervisor Database facilities provide fast, transparent access to many different data sources, via
a database technology called ADO. Database design is not covered here, as it is a large subject
explained fully in any of the many books available. It is assumed that developers using these
database facilities have a working knowledge of databases.
Functions allow complete database access.
The data sources which can be accessed depends on the Data Providers installed, but may include:
♦
MS-Access
♦
MS-Excel
♦
Visual FoxPro
♦
dBase
♦
ODBC for Oracle
♦
Paradox
♦
SQL Server
♦
Text files (in TXT and CSV format)
