METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING BETWEEN AN EMBEDDED DEVICE AND RELATIONAL DATABASES

摘要

Techniques for communicating between an embedded device and at least one remote database for a wide variety of applications, including human machine interface and supervisory control and data acquisition and B2B applications. An application program interface interfaces an application program seeking access to a predetermined database and which operates on an operating system not operating a database driver program. A parser translates communications with the application program interface into and from commands and formatted data of an operating system independent form. A protocol stack formats the commands and formatted data into header formatted communications signals to accord with a predetermined protocol. Another protocol stack receives the header formatted communications signals and removes header data from the header formatted communications signals for generating database communications signals. Another parser receives the database communications signals, generates a plurality of database formatted SQL commands, and communicates the database formatted SQL commands. A database interface interfaces the predetermined database and communicates the database formatted SQL commands with the predetermined database.
