can I create login and menu screens using labview?

[Gi_Joe]

I wanna create a login screen that is connected to an oracle database,after the user gains access to the system they have different options they can pick. The options all link up to labview vi's.I want to know if these processes are possible.

Thanks for all your support!

Hi

Basically I would say yes it is possible. I'm not used to oracle dbms but I think it should be possible to build a connection.

I had a similar appilcation, instead of using Oracle my app used MS Jet Engine (database was created using Access). I believe there are some ODBC drivers for Oracle. The query statement would be very simple. It should return the user type (admin, regular, power, guest, etc).

Once the user type is returned, you can then use the menu VIs (Application Controlls >> Menu) to manipulate the menus.

Interfacing with Oracle is easily possible through the Database Connectivity Toolkit. Additionally, a discussion about the drivers/providers to use specifically with Oracle can be found here.
