In ignition which format data is stored in databases?

which type of format data stores in different types of databases in ignition.

2

Ignition can work with about every data type possible in databases if you want to use your own table structures. I've written custom software for clients to store their own custom data outside of the historian and transaction modules.

Hi Michael, could you please share custom software for clients.

I cannot share that as that is proprietary and contains intellectual property of my client.

You're not going to be limited by what Ignition can do. It's up to you to program your project to meet your needs.

thank you for your information... were should i look for data store format in ignition.

It is not clear what you are trying to do and where you are stuck. Please explain.

There is free training available here:

i want to know which format data will store in ignition databases.

You have said that three times. It does not give us enough information to help you.

Write your question in your own language and add a Google translation. Explain clearly what you are trying to understand and where you are stuck.

  • What kind of information are you trying to store?
  • What database engine are you using?

"I am using Microsoft SQL Server with Ignition. I want to understand how data is stored in the database, what happens if the database connection fails, and how Ignition handles data during a connection loss. Does Ignition buffer/store data locally? If so, where is it stored, and how is it synchronized back to SQL Server once the connection is restored? Please explain the complete data flow briefly."

thank you...

Ignition has multiple ways of storing data to a database. You can use named queries

You can use python functions to run a sql query right in your python script.

Ignition can also store tag values (among other things) in databases in groups using transaction manager

The most common way ignition stores data to databases is through enabling history on a tag. This will automatically log values on change or on a fixed time interval

To prevent data loss when losing connection to a database, Ignition supports store-and-forward which will keep data locally until a connection to the database can be re-established. The data buffer is not unlimited. If the connection is down for long enough you will lose data.

The inductive university training goes over all of this in detail. You should start there.

thank you, now i received correct information.

It may not be, but I had Maker running at home and forgot to start my DB one day and came back it a few weeks later and had 14 million records in S&F. Started the DB and they all flushed/forwarded just fine.

14 million records at home?! Serious stuff :+1:

I've got a 48 port switch that I'm monitoring the bandwidth (both Rx and TX) on every port every few seconds plus other values around the house, but the bandwidth was a test to see what I could get it to do on my home network for historian. On my old hardware it was flushing the records to TimescaleDB at about 5-6k records per second.
