Database, compatabiliy for TstStand 2.0

I would like to connect to a different database other than Orcale, SQL Server and Access. How can I get TestStand to give me that option. I am willing to debug this new interface, but I need some direction. Help?

Hi Craig,

By DEFAULT, TestStand supports Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and Microsoft Access. This does not mean that you are limited to these databases. We have just tested the product with, and included SQL scripts to create the default database structures, for these DBMS'. To add support for your specific DBMS, you simply need to create a new connection string that points to your database. The way you build the connection string will depend upon whether you are using the ODBC driver or the vendor specific driver to connect to your database. Once you have done that, the only other thing you need to do is modify one of the schemas that best matches your database structure and functionality that it supports. Have a look at the section titled "Adding Support fo
r Other Database Management Systems" inside of the TestStand 3.0 Reference Manual. I would recommend reading the entire Database chapter to gain an understanding of how database logging works in TestStand. Please let me know if you need additional help.
