| <p>BIRT reports use a data source element to connect to a database or other data provider. BIRT uses a data set element to retrieve data from the data provider. Think of the data source as a connection, and the data set as a query.</p> |
| <p><a href="install.php">Learn More</a> </p> |
| |
| <h2 class="topic-section-header padding-top-small">Build a Data Source</h2> |
| <p>Let's build our data source: |
| <ul class="eclipse-list"> |
| <li>Open the Data Explorer View, if it is not already visible.</li><br /> |
| <li>Select the Data Sources node within the tree view.</li><br /> |
| <li>Right-click to open the context menu.</li><br /> |
| <li>Choose New Data Source. The New Data Source dialog appears.</li><br /> |
| <li>Choose Classic Models Inc. Sample Database.</li><br /> |
| <li>In the Data Source Name field, enter "Sample".</li><br /> |
| <li>Click Next.</li><br /> |
| <li>Click Finish.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p>Your new data source appears within the Data Sources node in the Data Explorer.</p> |
| |
| <h2 class="topic-section-header padding-top-small">Edit a Data Source</h2> |
| <p>For future reference, let's review how you would go about changing the data source: |
| <ul class="eclipse-list"> |
| <li>Find or open the Data Explorer View.</li><br /> |
| <li>Open the Data Sources node.</li><br /> |
| <li>Double-click the data source.</li><br /> |
| <li>The Data Source editor opens. You can make any needed changes.</li><br /> |
| <li>Click OK to save your changes.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p>BIRT reports use a data source element to connect to a database or other data provider. BIRT uses a data set element to retrieve data from the data provider. Think of the data source as a connection, and the data set as a query. |
