// UALogAsUnionToSql: Logs OPC Unified Architecture data changes into an SQL database, using a subscription. Values of
// different data types are stored in separate columns.

// The database creation script is in the ExamplesNet\MSSQL\QuickOPCExamples.sql file under the product installation 
// directory. The example assumes that the database is already created.
