Hello All,

 

I have a few questions about access to PVs from an outside DB and CSS

 

1. Is there an option to read/write directly to a PV from a database such as rethinkdb or mariadb?
2. Is there an option for an IOC to read from a DB and then write to the PVs and also write back to the DB?
3. I did see an option for CSS to connect to a DB through the JDBC, I assume this can read/write from/to that DB or is there another possible way through CSS?
4. With CSS is it possible to read in a file JSON/XML/Flat to populate GUI elements that then write to their corresponding PVs and in reverse write out to a file?

 

Thanks,

Adam
