Hello,
I searched through the NI Developer Exchange threads for LabVIEW and found a few entries that gave suggestions for your situation. One of the suggestions was to use the Gnu C Compiler in Linux to write C code to communicate with your database...then you could use a CIN in LabVIEW to access that C code. I don't recommend this method, however, as the use of CINs can be rather cumbersome, particularly if you are starting from scratch.
Rather, I would suggest you follow the advice given in another discussion thread entitled "LabVIEW for Linux and DB2 Database"...you can find it by using the search box on the main Developer Exchange page. Basically, you can use the Telnet VIs in the Internet Toolkit for LabVIEW to Telnet into your database and run a script to
perform the database activity. You can read the message thread for a complete description...
I hope this suggestion helps you out. I wish you luck with your application. Have a good day.
Sincerely,
Darren Nattinger
