Loftware Label Manager's Database Connection Types

Figure 8.7: Database calling out an image file name

Database-Key

Note: The Loftware Label Manager subsystem uses ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) to access external

databases.

When you want to retrieve information from a database, Loftware Label Manager requires a key

connection. This connection is a look-up command that instructs Loftware Label Manager to locate the

appropriate record for the required data.

In Loftware Label Manager, select the Database-Key option from the Data Source dialog box to identify

your data key.

To better understand Database-Key and its look-up function, think of searching for a telephone number.

In a telephone listing, Name is the key connection. That is, you locate a telephone number by searching

for the name first. An individual’s name provides the key to other pieces of data, such as a street

address and telephone number.

Loftware Label Manager’s ODBC works the same way. When you identify the look-up key, for example,

Part Number, you are providing the user with the key that allows Loftware Label Manager to retrieve

critical data for your labels. The Database-Key is unique because even though the data source is

Database, it also requires keyboard input from the user. It is both a keyboard entry field and the look up

key for the database.
