With the Wonderware product InSQL, MS SQL Server is bundled with it. One installation I am involved with is used to capture machine data, we will have Intouch nodes at a multiple machines which provide data for InSql. We are now trying to
implement a link to the MIS Sql Server which is MS SQL 6.5 to gather product data relevant to
the reporting.
Another site uses the SQL tools within Intouch to provide this data to MS Sql 6.5 with out
InSql. By using Ms Sql products it seems as open as most other open type products with their non open quirks but so far we have had no brick walls.
We have also implemented RSSql within this system, to allow buffering of data between the main Sql database and the machine node, and to guarantee the data is accurately placed into the
database.
With RSView, I believe the Watcom database is tagname definitions,etc and is not for an
information database. (I could be wrong?)
I feel that Sql maybe more flexible and easier to to manage a reasonable size database than one which is in a Scada package. But it would depend on what you want with out, ie multiple users and data providers, data for different software.
