      Use the database export when you want to export iFIX tags into a spreadsheet format. These tags can be regular tags (non-model), or both model and non-model tags. Your database is exported in CSV format. You can edit that CSV file in a spreadsheet program and then later import it back into iFIX again.

Database Management

You can manage your database operations from the Database panel. This includes adding, copying, importing, and exporting your databases.

New Database

When you create a new database, you will be prompted for a new database name (up to 8 characters). After you choose to create a new database, the currently active database switches to this new empty database.

Switching Databases

The drop down in the toolbar lets you quickly switch your currently active iFIX database.

Save as Database

The Save As command lets you take your existing active database and save it as a newly named database. This operation will also switch the active database to the newly copied database.

Import or Export a Database

See Import a Database or Export a Database.
