1.1. Overview

The Cascade DataHub and OPC DataHub have built-in scripting capabilities (see DataHub Scripting), which among other things let you connect the DataHub to any ODBC-compliant database. This guide assumes a basic understanding of DataHub scripting, and provides the specific information you will need to script connections between the DataHub and an ODBC database.

[Note]

DataHub ODBC scripting uses wrapped MSDN functions. Therefore, this documentation often links to and refers to the MSDN documentation.

[Note]

The tutorials in this manual use SQL commands to query the database. The syntax for these commands may vary slightly from one ODBC database to another. If a given tutorial doesn't work right away, check the syntax of the SQL commands in the tutorial against the syntax that your database uses.
