Database support

[sal]

Hello,
i'm a happy user of Synthmaker and Flowstone is a very interesting software.
From this page i see that data logging is possible for databases, but watching in the manual i have not found information about that.
I have not tried yet the Flowstone application, so i don't know if such a module exists.
I would know if a module is planned for communication between Flowstone and most popular databases such as mysql, sqlite, etc. whitout having to recall external programs.
Thank You
Sal

Hi.

I also am impressed by the ease of construction of the interface and processes, but cannot see how to datalog. I am trying to log the analog outputs of the phidget 8/8/8, which you show in examples. (The 8/8/8 module you have works well with real phidgets BTW).

(Trying to log values from multiple channels to CSV for post processing....)

FlowStone can save text files in any format you like.

You just need to construct the data into strings and then use the ‘save text file’ module.

So you can save your logged data as plain text, CSV, XML or what ever you choose.

You also have access to time and date information so you can timestamp your data log entries too.

this is fine,
but at the moment there isn't a way to connect with a database server such as mysql, sqlite etc. and write sql code to obtain or send information straight to or from the database and i cannot imagine an ATM Cash Machine with thousand of customers running without such a database connection.
This is a feature suggestion for future updates of Flowstone, because it can be a faster alternative to standard code programming and attract more customers than the ones coming from Synthmaker such as c++ and .net programmers.

Thank You
