ODBC Connection User Guide
This guide explains how to use the PV‑WAVE ODBC Connection version 2.0 functions. These functions let you query an ODBC compliant data source 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.
Restriction | See Support for optional PV-WAVE modules to check if ODBC is available on your operating system. |
The topics in this guide are organized as follows:
Chapter 1: Getting Started—Introduces PV‑WAVE ODBC Connection, explains how to start the module, describes what you need to know to use the software, and provides examples that demonstrate how to import data from a data source into PV‑WAVE. Chapter 2: Reference—An alphabetically arranged reference describing each of the data source connection functions. The PV‑WAVE ODBC Connection functions are easy to use if you are familiar with the target data source (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.
