Data Access and SQLDirect

rbuser

I'm using Report Builder 6.02 enterprise with Delphi 5. In my application,
I've changed BDE to SQL Direct. I'm using a report explorer to make the
reports, but I have no suport for SQL Direct access via RB. How can I do
that? Is that an example of making a component for supporting SQL Direct?
Also, I need that the db connection is fixed and it cannot be changed, so I
want the user to build the query, but not changing the connection. Can it be
done in BDE too??
Thanks

To use SQLDirect with the ReportBuilder Query tools will require a DADE
plug-in. The following web page lists the available DADE plug-ins. It does
not appear that one is available for SQLDirect. You could either create one
or contact the publishers of SQLDirect and request that they create one. See
the DADE thread of the Tech Tips newsgroup for an overview of the
architecture. Creating a DADE plug-in is most easily accomplished by using
of the existing DADE plug-ins as a starting point and then changing the
class names and any implementation details.

To define a fixed connection for BDE, place a TDatabase component on the
EndUser form and configure the connection parameters. Then set the
Designer.DataSettings.DatabaseName to point to the TDatabase component.

Thank you very much.... I looked in SQL Direct page and there is a DADE
plug-in developed by them to download.
