Call SQL stored procedure from within Report Designer

edited March 2009 in General
Hi,

I would like to be able to call a SQL stored procedure from an event runtime
within the report without having to code a Delphi wrapper program.

What would be realy great were the possibility of adding buttons to a report
and calling i.e. SQL procedures from those events. :-)

Regards
Hans

    Is it possible, how can it be done and do you concider adding design buttons
    to report designer?

    Hi Hans,

    There is no built-in way to call a stored procedure from ReportBuilder
    however this is something we have on our to-do list for a future release.

    Currently it is possible to leverage the AutoSearch feature to give your
    users the ability to execute stored procedures from within ReportBuilder.
    It is necessary however to create a custom dataview for each one. An
    example of this can be found in the \Demos\4. EndUser Databases\SQL
    Server\2. ADO\StoredProc\... directory.

    This demo shows how to create stored proc custom dataviews to be used with
    SQL Server and ADO however the concepts are the same if you were to create
    them for another DB or connection object.
