Hi,
How to connect my pos system database? I have a point of sale system developed using visual basic programming language but I am having a problem on what best database to use and how to connect the pos system. I have to get this done immediately for my company. I hope you can help me.
Thanks.

Hi there user:
If it is by way of basic POS (printer’s receipt externally connected), I recommend Geovision (Connecting DB25 – Interface POS System).
These are the two (2) basic requirements to connect POS.
Hardware: GV-Data Capture V2 Box
Software: Version 6.0.2.0 or up.
Geovision POS Manual: http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/faq/POSflowchart/text/DB25_POS.pdf
I hope this could help you.
Best regards,
Hello Allison Davy,
Â
First you should know how it was made, if someone made it for you then ask the one who made it on what database did he or she used. Also, you must know what database you have. I would recommend using MS SQL Express Edition, its free and somewhat easy to use, can expand dynamically and can be used by other users simultaneously. To add the database to your POS software, you must have at least the database structure or a script to build the database, after that you attach it to your POS software and it should work.

Hope this helps.
