What Is OPC UA Server for Databases?
- Direct OPC UA access to enterprise and operational databases
- Native connectivity to SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft Access, and Wonderware Historian
- Support for any ODBC- or OLEDB-compliant database
- Secure, standards-based communication via OPC UA
- Real-time and historical data exposure to SCADA, DCS, HMI, and historian systems
- Fast deployment with no custom development required
The server natively supports Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL, Microsoft Access, and Wonderware Historian. It also integrates with any database supporting ODBC or OLEDB drivers, including PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, SAP HANA, and more.
Yes. You can connect to multiple databases at the same time, even if they are different types, and expose them through a single OPC UA address space.
Yes. It works with cloud-hosted databases such as Azure SQL Database, Amazon RDS, Oracle Cloud, and Google Cloud SQL, supporting both on-premises and hybrid deployments.
The server supports full bidirectional communication. You can configure OPC UA tags as read-only, write-only, or read-write depending on your use case.
ODBC provides basic database access but lacks OPC UA features such as standardized data modeling, subscription-based updates, built-in security, and native SCADA/HMI compatibility. This solution combines ODBC flexibility with OPC UA industrial capabilities.
It leverages OPC UA’s security framework, including certificate-based authentication, encryption, message signing, role-based access control, and detailed audit logging.
The server maintains OPC UA connectivity, marks affected tags with proper quality status, and can optionally buffer write operations until the database connection is restored.
Most deployments are completed within hours. Simple setups can be operational in under 30 minutes, while more complex multi-database environments typically take 1 to 2 days.
