Database Connection User Guide
This guide explains how to use the PV‑WAVE Database Connection 1.1 functions. These functions let you query a database from within PV‑WAVE and import the query results into a PV‑WAVE table. This imported data can then be manipulated and displayed using other PV‑WAVE functions.
The topics in this guide are organized as follows:
Chapter 1: Importing from a Database—Explains how to use the database connection functions to subset and import data into PV‑WAVE from an external database.Chapter 2: Reference—An alphabetically arranged reference describing each of the database functions.The PV‑WAVE Database Connection functions are easy to use if you are familiar with the target Database Management System, such as Oracle, and Structured Query Language (SQL). Because imported data is placed in a PV‑WAVE table, you need to be familiar with the PV‑WAVE table functions. These functions include BUILD_TABLE, QUERY_TABLE, and UNIQUE. They are described in the PV‑WAVE Reference.
