Database-Vectorworks communication

The values in a database link to the record fields of an object instance through a series of connections made between the database software and the Vectorworks program.

One or more columns of the database table must have unique values. These Key columns are used by the Vectorworks program to uniquely identify the database rows.

Database setup consists of identifying the key column(s) and setting up each type of connection, and then specifying update settings for the flow of data.
