Optimized Database Source block

The Optimized Database Source block reads field data from an Optimized Database.  An Optimized Database is configured with a table containing all field information (i.e. field ID and name) while another table contains the actual tag data.  The two tables are linked by a foreign key relationship.

Note that this connector may or may not be available on the user palette, according to your license type.
