Citadel and Open Database Connectivity

B-8

Note

If MS Query is unable to connect to a Citadel data source, you have not yet logged
data to Citadel; or the Database path

you specified in the ODBC Setup dialog box

is incorrect.

Note

If the Citadel data source is not listed in the Select Data Source dialog box, you
might not have accessed it yet. Choose Other… and select Citadel from among the
ODBC data sources. If Citadel is not listed as an ODBC Data Source, you need to
install it. See the

Configuring the ODBC Driver

section for more information.

In the Add Tables dialog box, double click Threads. Then close the
dialog box.

MS Query presents the full Query Window with the Threads table shown.
Notice the list of tag names in the Threads table. This list is a
comprehensive list of all tags whose values have been logged to Citadel.

To view the value of a field, double click it or drag it to the data pane.
