Hi,

I would like to insert tag value changes to a database via store and forward. Note that I am trying to insert the value to a custom table instead of the default historian tables created by ignition. (for simplicity of this discussion let's assume the custom table in database and the tag change listener already exist, and I just need a function that will allow me to insert the data to the custom table).

What do I need to implement to add insert sql commands to the store and forward system with the right data and the right destination to be executed?
