Can I Use a Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) Database with TestStand?Primary Software: TestStandPrimary Software Version: 3.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: Can I use a Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) database with TestStand? When would I want to use MSDE instead of Access as my database provider? How do I get it? Solution: The Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) is a database package based on Microsoft's SQL Server and can usually be installed from any Microsoft Office installation CD. This package does not install by default, but rather the setup file can be run individually at any time. More information about MSDE concerning its abilities and background can be researched via the Microsoft homepage. For most TestStand users, MSDE can be an alternative to using Microsoft Access Database software, especially when better multithreading support is needed for a small scale database. MSDE has the added benefit of being able to interpret Access data files, which can also be a deciding factor for using this database.
