Primary Database

This setting defines the connection to the database where AVEVA Edge is configured to log to. Use the browse button […] to define the database connection.

Table/Column

Once the Primary Database is configured, set Table to the table containing the trend data. The Date column should always be Time_Stamp with Date includes Time checked.

Settings

The Settings button opens the Settings dialog that defines characteristics of the database that are used to retrieve data.

Typically, these settings are defaulted correctly for the Primary Database.

If queries timeout, increase the Client Wait Time.

The delimiter and timestamp settings are typically filled in automatically for the database and can be modified for other databases.

The Date/Time Storage settings define how timestamps are stored in the database. Using this setting the timestamps are manipulated when data is retrieved so that local timestamps are submitted in and returned.

Many databases require the Date format to be YYYY-MM-DD so that no interpretation needs to occur based on the Region settings of the Windows Operating System. It is recommended to always have this option checked.
