I know there have been many questions regarding extending RS to report off of
different data sources (xml, ado etc) - we are successfully running our
reports off of SQL Server stored procedures and are using the web services
(not url) to render directly to PDF from a custom asp .net UI. We would like
to leave this as is, tying the RS Datasource to a SQL Server stored procedure
and leaving it at that. Is it possible to use only the connection interfaces
(IDbConnection) in conjunction with the web services to programmatically
switch between datasources? Or do you have to implement the whole nine yards
(IDbCommand, Parameter, Transaction, Reader etc.) and run reports off of a
custom dataset in order to switch the connection string?
Thanks,ok, I realize maybe that was a stupid question. Here is another one. If we
need to create a custom data extension in order to manipulate the connection
string, is it possible to create a 'custom' data extension that executes SQL
Stored Procedures using the .net SqlCommand for its 'custom data', seeing as
how we have the reports up and running using the stored procedures?
I am trying desperately to figure out the best approach to take. We need to
be able to switch to one of 60 + databases depending on the user requesting
the report. The custom code is in place, the reports done and working - what
would anyone suggest would be the best way to accomplish the last piece of
this puzzle?
