ODBC
ODBC Driver Manager
FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook sends queries to a standardized
interface from Microsoft called the ODBC Driver Manager. The Driver
Manager forwards ODBC queries to appropriate vendor-provided drivers,
which access the outside databases and return the requested data to your
ProcessBook display.
ODBC Drivers
Each DBMS (database management system), such as Microsoft SQL
Server, requires a specific ODBC Driver, provided by the vendor of the
DBMS or a third party. Each driver is a Dynamic Link Library (.dll) that
implements a set of subroutine calls to retrieve data from a particular
database.
The Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager is included as a part of FactoryTalk
Historian ProcessBook installation.
