Crystal Reports - Geterogeneus databases: SQL Server, Oracle, Unidata, Btrieve – tips for developer
by: Andrew Karasev
Crystal Reports is the most flexible tool on the market and it has market recognition. Multiple software vendors offer Crystal Reports as the main reporting tool: Microsoft, Best Software, Oracle to name a few.
Sometimes developers try to use Crystal directly to pull data from multiple database platforms - we understand the need to give you additional tips to increase Crystal report flexibility. Also common case when Crystal report should pull data from multiple database platforms. Assuming that you are creating Crystal Reports on Windows platform - we recommend you to use Microsoft SQL Server as a database access tool.
1. Use Crystal when you have your query tuned – regardless how good Crystal Reports is - it is reporting tool - not querying environment. Tune your query first and be sure that you are pulling the right data.
2. Use SQL Server Linked Servers. Use professional tool, such as Microsoft SQL Server, where you can create linked servers to Oracle, Ctree, Btrieve, MS Access, Unidata, DB2 and other platforms.
3. Use Distributed Queries – in the case of SQL Server - research the possibilities with OPENQUERY, OPENROWSET clauses to connect to non-SQL Server linked servers.
4. Create Stored Procedures - when you need parameters to be transferred to the SQL statement - you need stored procedure. You need stored proc if temp tables are required to do intermediate job in your SQL query.
5. Report Flexibility – when you have report based on the SQL view or stored proc - if you need to modify the data query - you don't have to change the report - you change your SQL view/ stored procedure.
6. Create SQL Query to probe the data – again - we always recommend tuning your query and see that you are getting adequate results – in any case – Crystal Report is just a nice tool to show the results of your query.

Customer Testimonials on digital cable
We would never claim to be world authorities on digital cable but our passion and interest in this area has encouraged us to source out the best locations for digital cable purchases and products.
We have set a number of important criteria for evaluating digital cable websites. Among these are (1) secure shopping areas for digital cable purchases; (2) well documented customer support areas and (3) testimonials from happy clients. Just click on the link below and you will see how these apply:
Customer testimonials are a clear indication that a digital cable website is doing a good job. People who have purchased digital cable and received their goods in a prompt and efficient manner are the best advertising a business can have. In short they are saying **Buy your digital cable here**.
Long established highly reputable digital cable suppliers will even provide a contact link so that you can talk directly with the customer. This means that they are so confident that their digital cable customer has had a good experience that they are prepared to put you in direct contact with them.
Ultimately it will be your digital cable shopping experience that determines how happy you are with the supplier. We'd like to think of ourselves as intermediaries to ensure that your digital cable shopping experiences are positive ones. Our website is full of solid evidence backing up the shopping links shown above.
