The award winning database API brings seamless access to a robust, industrially proven database from within LabVIEW, delivering high performance, high availability and multi-core scalability, with a distributed architecture, and providing local database management for applications deployed on CompactRIO and Single Board RIO devices.

The LabVIEW native interface for Windows or VxWorks seamlessly integrates Raima’s embedded database management system within the LabVIEW environment, meeting the needs of a wide range of industrial and workstation applications where large amounts of data must be stored, managed and accessed. Standalone operation is possible because the database resides in the LabVIEW data directory.

Raima Database API for LabVIEW, implemented with RDM Embedded 11, enables LabVIEW programmers to quickly and easily design data management functionality into their software applications.

The RDM Embedded 11 database engine has been developed to fully utilize multi-core processors, run with minimal memory, and support both in-memory and on-disk storage.

Optimised for embedded systems and applications, it provides a subset of the ANSI/ISO standard SQL that is suitable for running on a wide variety of computers and embedded operating systems which may have limited resources due to hardware limitations or high demands from other onboard applications.
