Prerequisites

The following list includes the prerequisites for successfully installing and using the RdbmsNetwork driver and specific supported rdb database types:

NiagaraAX license feature for the appropriate Rdbms database. See Prerequisites.
RdbmsNetwork installed in the station (under the "Drivers" node). See Installing the RdbmsNetwork driver and rdbDatabase device.
RdbmsNetwork database device installed under the RdbmsNetwork. See Installing the RdbmsNetwork driver and rdbDatabase device.
IP Network connection to the database host
User Name and Password for database login
Appropriate rights for required data access

In addition, there may be specific database-related items that you need to know. For example, if you are trying to connect to a "named instance" of a database, you may need to know the name of the database instance. Also, if the the database is using a non-default port number, you need to know the port number so you can configure your RdbmsNetwork database device correctly.
