Using Microsoft SQL Server databases for archive management

In 2025 it is possible to use Microsoft SQL Server©, SQLite© and MySQL© technologies as database support for Electro Graphics software archives and libraries.



Significant speed increase in search and edit operations on project files and archives

Electro Graphics offers the ability to share its software archives over a company network, thus facilitating collaboration and ensuring access to up-to-date and customised data for all operators.

Sharing software archives allows more operators to work on the same data at the same time, avoiding duplication and ensuring consistency of information. It ensures that everyone always uses the latest archives, avoiding errors due to outdated versions. Allows for easy use of customised configurations, increasing efficiency and productivity.

Electro Graphics recommends using a network server to share archives. This solution offers several advantages over direct access to databases:

• Managing large archives is more efficient, providing faster viewing and searching.

• Reduces the impact on network performance, avoiding slowdowns due to heavy usage.

The option of sharing archives on network servers is recommended for sharing archives located on a server, via client/server technology. The advantage over technology with direct pointing to databases lies in the faster handling of large archives. In fact, direct sharing is more susceptible to common network usage and display and search performance may vary.

Electro Graphics supports some of the most popular solutions for enterprise database management:

• Microsoft SQL Server: A commercial relational database management system, developed by Microsoft and known for its high performance and advanced functionality.

• MySQL: An open-source relational database management system, very popular and versatile.

• SQLite: Another open-source relational database management system that can read and write data directly without a client-server architecture; serverless SQLite requires no installation or configuration, which makes it autonomous and less dependent on the operating system.


If you do not already have a server with a SQL database manager, the Electro Graphics installation package includes a simplified and easily configurable version of Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition, ideal for sharing archives in small and medium-sized companies.



Fast access to archives and libraries in remote networking and VPN

Version 2025 introduces a great innovation in the sharing of archives in a company network. Server-based sharing with SQL databases enables faster and more efficient access to symbol libraries and material archives. Work teams can collaborate more effectively on shared projects, always accessing the latest version of symbols and archives. Centralising data on a server ensures consistency and integrity of information, eliminating the risk of discrepancies between different local copies.



Export and import bill of materials and lists with OpenOffice (LibreOffice) Calc©

Several functions in the Electro Graphics Cablo and  Tabula  software allow data to be imported or exported by interfacing with a spreadsheet.

• In Cablo  it is possible to export the cable list to a spreadsheet as well as import elements from that format.

• In Tabula, it is possible to export the bill of materials to a spreadsheet as well as import elements from that format. 


These functions are useful to be able to use the spreadsheet to update or insert data into a bill of materials quickly. This can be done by exporting data to the spreadsheet, editing them and finally importing the updated data.

The commands are available in the File menu by selecting:

- Export > Export BOM to Excel

- Import > Import BOM from Excel


Three modes are available for both export and import functions.


Microsoft Excel mode

Microsoft Excel mode can be selected if Microsoft Excel is already installed in the system. In this case, when performing the export, the system automatically starts the Excel software and exports the data directly to a new spreadsheet. You can then make changes or save the file.

By performing the import, the Electro Graphics software loads the data from the spreadsheet that is to be currently open in Excel.


OpenOffice (LibreOffice) Calc©

Version 2025 provides this new mode which is useful if OpenOffice (LibreOffice) Calc© is installed on the system. In much the same way as with Microsoft Excel©, the system automatically starts the software and exports the data directly into a new spreadsheet. Changes can then be made or the file saved. For import, however, Calc must already be started and the Electro Graphics software copies the data from the currently open spreadsheet.


Spreadsheet Mode (*.xls, *.xlsx)

This mode is useful when Microsoft Excel is not installed on the system. For export, an Excel file in .XLS format is created and saved under the path and name specified by the designer.

For import, the Electro Graphics software loads the data from the selected .XLS file.
