microcontrollers

It is very important to have a connection to the database before any type of creation or modification can be processed.  The different level of security and parameters are determined by the database management system (DBMS).  “ODBC uses Data Source Name (DSN) for the connection and ADO uses Universal Data Links (UDL) for the connection.”¹  This project uses ADO. Creating data links in Windows is not accessible to the user unless Database Connectivity Toolset builds data links by registering UDL files in the Windows registry.¹  After the UDL files are registered in Windows, the user can right click on the Desktop and find Microsoft Data Link as shown in the below figure.  For this project, Universal Data Links are used for connecting LabVIEW to the database.
