ODAC component and ppDesigner.DataSettings option

rbuser

Hi!
I want to use ODAC 4.1 component to acces my Oracle database. I have
programmed ppExplorer to work with that but only for View and preview
reports. When I want to create new (or edit) report I have to use
ppDesigner...and here is the problem.
In ppDesigner.DatSettings.SessionType I cannnot choose anyting but
predefined 4 session types: ADO, BDE, IB, DbExpress.
What to do....THX!

If you are using a DADE plugin at runtime, you'll want to use this at Delphi
design time as well. So, you'll have to create a Delphi design time package
that you install into Delphi. This will register the session class and you
will then be able to set the datasettings session type at Delphi design
time. If you look in the Component | Install Packages, you should see that
there are entries for ADO for exampel like this:

ReportBuilder Data Access for ADO
etc...

You'll want to see one for your ODAC DADE plugin as well as the four you see
for ADO, BDE, IB, and DBXpress.

Jim!
THX for your answer, but looking into code looks for me too difficult with
small chance to successed.
I know this has nothing with you but have to express myself.

If you don't have an ODAC DADE plugin already, then try using DOA as there
is a DADE plugin that is popular amongst the Oracle and RB customers. Check
out daDBBDE.pas for an example of the simplest DADE plugin (the BDE one).
