Creating an Executable Using SQL Toolkit VIs

You can use the LabVIEW Application Builder to create LabVIEW executable files that use the SQL toolkit. The process of building the application is as simple as building an application that does not use SQL. Refer to the LabVIEW Help, available by selecting Help»Contents and Index, for information about setting up your build file and creating the executable.

In addition to creating the executable, you must install the SQL toolkit on the target machine, because it installs several necessary DLLs and updates the ODBC administrator. You can perform an expert (custom) installation and not select the SQL toolkit VIs or the application examples. Finally, you also need to install the ODBC driver separately for the specific database that you are using. For most databases, you can perform a custom installation to install only the ODBC connectivity driver, which is necessary only if you are using a database package that does not use any of the drivers included with the SQL toolkit.

Instead of installing the SQL toolkit on the target machine, you also can copy some of the appropriate files from the development machine. Refer to KnowledgeBase 12SBLBWV (linked below) for more information about the correct files to copy.

No need to install SQL toolkit on target machine.
Include the necessary files and dlls as support files when making the executable.
