I want to call vi directly from database.

[Anitha_Shanmuganathan]

 Basically my database looks like  

Feature   |  Defects

Feature1 |  Defects1

Feature1 |  Defects4,Defects1

 So basically I need to to design in such a way that if its feature1 it should call defects1 module like that.I dont want to do hardcode like in my program if its defects1 call  this subvi. I want to load VI directly into my database or call directly to that particular Vi from database.

 Anyone has  any  idea??

 I tried for dynamically loading sub vi. But in that ,sub vi should be  somewhere in the disk.Instead I want to load into database/memory.

Database is a common term for special software for containing data. A Database Provider is used to interface with the data, most often the provider is controlled using SQL.

I expect that you talk about something different.

From what i understand, you are trying to implement a flexible "Sequencer" which will interpret and execute sequences of tests. So i wonder if you are aware of TestStand yet since it is essentially something you might be looking for....

As you already discovered, you can store a VI in a database as a BLOB. However LV can only load VIs from disk. What you can do is treat the database like a cookbook. Use it to store instructions defining what you need for each test case.

At the beginning of each test run you would go to the database and get a list of VIs that you need to run to test the features on that particular UUT.

Not very hard,
