The Database2RuntimeData integration effectively converts a database table into an historian. It enables you to define which column is the name of the tag, which column is its value, which is its quality, and which is the time the value was taken. This integration does not insert or update records in AVEVA™ Production Management. It pushes data into HDP streams on variables, so that expressions can be used on them, thus the ability to create a record.

Note: All date times, timestamps, that are returned by queries in this integration must be local time on the server.
Database sample
The database table has an historical view of tags and their values. This screen shows a data sample.

Integration variables
The integration variables can be considered the same as any other OPC-HDA variable, and they can be used in expressions.
