JustinT Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	Hi, Is it possible for WinCC V6.0 to read and display data from a SQL Server database residing on another server? The other server does not have WinCC or OPC Server installed. If so, how is it done? Thanks. Justin

JustinT Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	Thanks, Nemo. My question is a bit different. I want to display some internaltag values in WinCC. The values need to be updated regularly from a SQL Server database running on a remote server. The remote server has no OPC server installed. Is there any way to do the above without WinCC Industrial Data Bridge? Am I able to use VBS to connect directly to the remote database and update the tag periodically? Thanks.

It does not matter if you want to read data out of a sql server on its own or a sql server that belongs to wincc (technical that is). Use the search functionality and you will find some example code on how to achieve this. with regards, Ikkezelf

elme2 Posts: 1 Rating: (0)	Hi everybody. I want to do something like this, but the difference is that i want to read data from SQL Server but from a table made by me, so it is not a WinCC table nor user archive. I found someone who uses in C-scipts the commands DBConnect and DBExecuteDirect_hdsn (they where provided in WinCC libraries) for making the connections and writing. I need to read using a query, but i dont know howif i can use theDBExecuteDirect_hdsn to send the query, what kind of object do i need to store the results of the query and how to initialize them. Hope you could give me some advise Thanks for your help greetings
