Hi all: My users are considering using Crystal reports as an ad-hoc tool to query a DSS. They ran into several issues however using it. I was wondering if someone out there has ehough experience with that tool to shed some light.
Issue 1. Whenever Crystal creates a query it only create a one-pass sql. If the sql goes against a large number of large tables, we'd rather have the query split into several smaller 'create table as" statements, the result sets of which will be combined into the final result set. IS there a option in Crystal to allow the "multi-pass" queries? Issue 2. Kind of subset of the previous one. Does Crystal allow users to create tables at all? It seems to be a "read only" tool as far as we can see. Is this correct? thanks for any help Gene ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
