Campbell Scientific LNDB LoggerNet Database Software - Manual (Page 7)

LNDB
1. Introduction
LNDB moves data from one LoggerNet server into a single database. The two
main components of LNDB are LNDB Manager and LNDB Engine. LNDB
Manager is used to set up a database and select the datalogger data tables that
will be stored in the database. It also provides tools to monitor the LNDB
Engine and to review the database data. LNDB Engine runs as a service and
sends the selected data from the LoggerNet data cache to the database. LNDB
also includes utilities for importing and exporting data.
LNDB works with only one LoggerNet server and a single
database. Only one copy of LNDB can be running on a
computer. If you need to work with multiple LoggerNet servers,
you will need multiple copies of LNDB running on separate
computers. Each will also need its own separate database. NOTE
1.1 Supported Databases
LNDB has been tested and shown to work with the following databases:
Microsoft ® SQL Server® 2005 Express
Microsoft ® SQL Server® 2008 Express
Microsoft ® SQL Server® Compact 3.5
MySQL 5.0 and MySQL 5.1 (with MySQL 3.51.27 or 5.1.6 ODBC
database driver, note that earlier versions of 5.x ODBC database drivers
have known issues)
LNDB may work with other versions of these databases. NOTES
An SQL Server Compact database is limited to 4 GB in size. If
you anticipate the need for a larger database, a SQL Server or
MySQL database should be used.
Using a server-based database such as SQL Server or MySQL
will be more robust and may give better performance.
MySQL does not support sub-second data.
1.2 Supported Operating Systems
LNDB runs on Windows ® XP, Windows® Vista, or Windows® 7.
