teststand Vs Labview in using SQL

[Sury@]

hi,

I am new to using database.

What I want to do is : Access the SQL database and get the data, send it to teststand, and send the result obtained from the teststand back to database.

I want to know which one to use labview or teststand to make database accessing and sending more flexible so that if want to change the architecture in future.

Presently I have a view like accessing the database through labview and get the data in required format and then send it to teststand. After running the sequence use teststand send the result back to database server.

I use labview 2009 and have database tool kit. Teststand 4.2

Personally, I think it's silly to use the LabVIEW database toolkit when TestStand has everything you need and you would just be adding another layer to the whole process (i.e. TestStand>LabVIEW>Database instead of TestStand>Database).

p.s. What possessed you to post this to the Idea Exchange?

Sorry, I was not at all intending to post it twice.

During the post of this query, I did not notice in particular about the board, so it went to a wrong one. Then I posted it in labview. But later my post in idea exchange got moved to labview board which made a duplicate post instead of deleting as it was not at all related to that board.
