Unicode identifiers to tables and fields on designer

edited July 2008 in End User
Any help will be welcome...

I use RB to generate reports from Postgresql databases.
Tables and fiels are constructed dinamically and the user can set any sort
of identifiers to this tables and fields. Using spaces, special characters,
chinese characters, whaterver.
I need show this identifiers in the report designer but the
TppCommunicator.UserName must be a valid Pascal identifier so I can't use
this resource.
I try to use the DataDictionary but neither samples and demos works (I just
install RB and run the projects). And I didn't found a way to use it with
Postgresql.
There are some form to do it with RB?

Thanks in advance

    RB does contain support for Unicode. (The forthcoming ReportBuilder for
    Tiburon will be Unicode based (see my response to Unicode support in
    General).

    Use of the DataDictionary is covered in the Developers Guide tutorials. The
    DataDictionary is used by the DADE Query Tools.

    In your email you indicated that you are trying to use external
    DataPipelines. For that you can use the DataPipeline.FieldsEditor to define
    FieldAliases for each Field and then set DataPipeline.AutoCreateFields to
    False.
