Databases are consistently used as a gateway to interface with the outside world, whether to a process optimization application, Computer Maintenance Management System (CMMS), composition analyzer, or a custom, in-house application. Widespread industry acceptance of OPC has made it necessary for many organizations to convert archived data to real-time data and vice-versa. OPC can take advantage of real-time values from what once was a relational database by using Generic Database Access (GDA) technology. Read full article by Matrikon.
