Access database through RAP functions

rbuser

Hi,

I would like to add a function to RAP that is able to execute a query in
the database, but I am wondering how to get access to the main dataset of
the report.

I plan to use the 'IProviderSupport' interface of the dataset to gain a
unified access to the currently connected database.

Do you have any suggestions on teh best way to handle this?

Pass the Report as a parameter to the RAP function

function GetDataSet(aReport: TppReport): TDataSet;
begin

if (aReport.DataPipeline <> nil) and (aReport.DataPipeline is
TppDBPipeline) then
Result := TppDBPipeline(aReport.DataPipeline).DataSource.DataSet
else
Result := nil;

end;
