Citect and mySQL PDF

The document discusses a user's issue communicating between Citect SCADA software and a mySQL database. The user is receiving an error message ("Descriptor type out of range 307") when trying to execute an SQL query using the SQLExec function in Citect. Others in the discussion provide suggestions on potential causes of the error, such as using "*" to select all fields from the database rather than limiting the number of fields, as Citect has limitations. It is also noted that mySQL has a limit of 4096 columns that can be returned.
