Does System command pipe VI bufferizes data?

[Fox_Mccloud]

Hi.

I just read what you guys was saying about open system command pipe. I tried just that with PSQL a year ago (with lv7.0). I could not get to work. The only way I found possible

was to use the PSQL client from command prompt (with the system exec vi) and queue up all the inserts in a long row.

In lv 7.0 the system exec hangs the whole labview program while executing. But in lv8.0 it seems to be fixed.

This is the way I do it in one of my systems. Ofcourse this is not a optimal way but since LV does not have any good database connections for linux, I've found this to be the best way.

I'm now trying to get ftp to work in a system command pipe but it also works poorly. Anyone tryed that?

Cheers

Thanks for your reply!
So the problem seems to be with the VI...
I think it is time to NI to release a patch correcting this problem. Anyway, your reply was good because I thought it was my system problem!
