Converts a database variant to a LabVIEW NXG data type you specify.

connector_pane_image
datatype_icon

database variant

Variant data you want to convert to the data type specified in type.

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.

If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.

If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

datatype_icon

type

Data type into which you want to convert variant data.

datatype_icon

data

Cluster data retrieved from the Recordset.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Variant to Data Details

You can wire a variant, a 1D array of variants, or a 2D array of variants to the database variant input. Depending on the data type that you wire to the type and database variant inputs, this node performs the following different conversions:

Data Type Wired to database variant Input Data Type Wired to type Input
Cluster 1D Array of Non-Clusters 1D Array of Clusters 2D Array Others
Variant Converts the variant to the LabVIEW NXG data type specified by the type input. Converts the variant to the LabVIEW NXG data type specified by the type input. Converts the variant to the LabVIEW NXG data type specified by the type input. Converts the variant to the LabVIEW NXG data type specified by the type input. Converts the variant to the LabVIEW NXG data type specified by the type input.
1D Array of Variants Converts each element of the 1D array to a column in a sequence. Converts each element of the 1D array to the data type specified by the type input. Converts each element of the 1D array to a cluster. The output is a 1D array of clusters. Results in a broken wire at the database variant input. Results in a broken wire at the database variant input.
2D Array of Variants Results in a broken wire at the database variant input. Results in a broken wire at the database variant input. Converts each row of the 2D array to a cluster. The output is a 1D array of clusters. Converts each element of the 2D array to the element data type specified by the type input. Results in a broken wire at the database variant input.
Others Results in a broken wire at the database variant input. Results in a broken wire at the database variant input. Results in a broken wire at the database variant input. Results in a broken wire at the database variant input. Results in a broken wire at the database variant input.
