Installation and configuration

The RDBMS (Relational DataBase Management System) driver, is a non-field bus driver that uses a network architecture similar to other framework drivers.

This driver has many properties and extensions in common with other field-bus-type network drivers. However, there are several distinctive RDBMS driver characteristics:

  • There is no separate RdbmsNetwork driver component palette. Each of the other palettes (rdbHsqlDb, rdbMySQL rdbOracle and rdbSqlServer) provide the same RdbmsNetwork component. The rdb palette provides history-related components.

  • The RDBMS point device extension is unlike point device extensions associated with other drivers. This point device extension uses the Rdbms Point Query component to filter database records and provide candidate records for proxy points.

  • The RdbmsNetwork does not have a tuning policies component.

    Some measure of tuning is provided with the RDBMS Worker component, which is available under individual RDBMS device drivers.
