Crystal Reports 2008 report running against Oracle or SQL Server database

Former Member

Hi,

I have a Crystal Reports 2008 report that I would like to run against SQL Server or Oracle. Ideally I want to be able to just support the one report and let end-users run against either database. The report uses a command with valid sql that can run against both Oracle and SQL Server.

Is it possible to use the same report for both databases?

Is there any way to launch the report and have the report use some external configuration data allowing it to connect to either a SQL Server or Oracle database?

Thanks in advance for any help

Your best bet would be to use a dynamic connection in a business view, as that will prompt the user with a choice of databases they want to connect to.

The other option is to have a "container" report as the main and have two subreports each connected to a different databse and have a parameter do variable suppression
