Gene,
Don't go there, a MAJOR pain & performance breaker. A good tool for simple
reports, but NOT industrial strength. Been there, done that, damn it still
hurts. I'd recommend a product called Brio instead
(http://www.brio.com/products/overview.html). Otherwise see inline.

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?
Answer: Not possible, one query per report.
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?
Answer: NOPE this is a query only tool.
thanks for any help
Gene
