Note: OPTIONAL HARDWARE REQUIRED !!
cab Database Connector
This software allows in connection with a printer of the cab A-series (not A2-Gemini) and the
Ethernet network card via TCP/IP, to print a label which contains data from an SQL compatible
data base. The data is recalled from the printer through it´s attached keyboard.
With the methods up to now it was necessary to load data bases in a fixed format on a memory card
into the printer.
This has the disadvantage that the data has to be be converted, they never had been actual and the
access time became slower the more the database was growing.
Changings in the central data base required an update on the printers memorycard to have
access to the actual data.
cabDatabaseConnector works different. It can recall data form and existing database somewhere in
the network. Changes, which are made in this data base, are immediately available, if a new label
is printed out.
The care expenditure for the memory card is no longer needed. The printers of the A-series can be
somewhere in the network. - Theoretically they might be anywhere in the world.
The following components are necessary:
•
a printer of the A-series (e.g. A3 / A4 / A6 etc...)
•
a A - series Ethernet network card with A-series cab Database Connector license
•
a Compact Flash memory card
•
an input device (USB scanner hl30 or USB keyboard)
•
cab DataBase Connector software
With the cab SQLClient -implemented in the A-series - printers can have access the database server
directly on-line through the cab Database Connector and Ethernet TCP/IP.
All data bases with ODBC or a Microsoft OLEDB interface can be accessed.
With cabData Base Connector Server several tables and fields can be queried at the same time.
Multiple pre defined labels can be selected through the table of contents of the memory card.
How it works:
The cab SQLClient contacts the cabDataBasConnector via Ethernet TCP and sends a SQL Query.
Cab Database Connector receives the SQL inquiry and sends it via ADO (ActiveX DATA Object)
to the database server.
cab Database Connector receives a data record from the database server and sends it via TCP to
the cab SQLClient. The cab SQLClient receives the requested data record as a character field.
Supported Databases:
MS ACCESS, Ms SQLServer, Oracle, Dbase and ODBC connections.
Important: Jet40Sp3_Comp.exe and mdac_typ.exe must be installed.
Usually these files are present, if Office 2000 or Windows 2000 is installed.
These files can also be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/data.
