Hi,
I am also looking for the same answer ...but i found this when i searched the forum with these words "database labview mac"
---------------------------------
To access databases in LabVIEW, you can create a DSN for the ODBC driver. To do this, use OpenLink or Apple's ODBC Administrator. You can create either User or System DSNs and point them to the database you want to access. Then, in LabVIEW, when you're using the Database Connectivity Toolset, you can put down a string constant with the DSN name and wire that to the Open DB Connection.vi, which should then connect to the database. Hope this helps!

i am really not sure if we can get "Database Connectivity Toolset" for Mac !! but there is a Enterprise Connectivity toolset for Mac ..propbaly it can do the magic.

but if you are looking for a Free tool ....check this out
http://mysql-cocoa.sourceforge.net/
you can use Labview external code interface with this ..i had little success using this ...i was able to connect to the database and execute a simple query ..but retrieving data from the DB is a challenge! (since the framework uses C pointers)

let me know if you could do it or any other ideas...
thanks
