Database not visible after upgrade to LV2019

Solved!
Go to solution

I created a couple of tables using the Database Toolkit examples. Things were working fine until I upgraded to LV2019. Now the tables are not visible. I used the "Read All Data" example and it just shows the standard example tables. A search for the table name in the LabVIEW 2018 directory shows nothing.

 

How do I copy or relink the tables I created with 2018 to my 2019 code?

My guess is that you edited the 2018 example code directly, instead of making a copy. Once you upgraded to 2019, it over-wrote you changes. If that is the case, you have lost the code... but that is just all a guess since you did not attach any code.

I used parts of the examples to build my code, not the whole thing. 

 

With LV2018, I could run the "Read All Data" VI and see my tables as well as the example tables.

 

With LV2019, I run the "Read All Data" VI and only see the example tables. I presume that they are looking at different databases, I just can't find them.

One of the database toolkit examples had this in the description “This example reads data from a predefined database, located at LabVIEW\examples\database\LabVIEW.mdb"

 

I went to Programs\National Instruments\Labview 2018\examples\database\LabVIEW.mdb and copied it to Programs\National Instruments\Labview 2019\examples\database\LabVIEW.mdb and I am back in business.

 

That was the file that I needed.
