LabView 2015 Runtime Install & SQL Server Express

[IDontKnowLV]

What version of SQL Server Express does LV runtime 2015 install, and what does it do if a later version is already present?

Hello,

The SQL is not something that is installed with the LabVIEW Runtime Engine. In this case, if you are creating an executable with Database Connectivity Toolkit, you should make sure that you have dependencies in the build specifications. The access of this toolkit is mainly to communicate with data bases organized with the SQL format, but there are no specific functions of SQL.

In this manual you can check about SQL information.

I've asked the question wrong, it's not the runtime, it's the DSC.  When DSC 2018 is installed, what version of SQL Express will it install?  And if it sees a newer version of SQL Express already in the default instance when it's installed, what will it do?

I believe it is SQL Server 2008.
