Stored Procedures

Sunset Reports provides many options for connecting to data.   This includes:

1. Direct Connection to Microsoft Access Tables and Queries
2. Direct Connection to DSN defined ODBC Connections
3. Direct Connection to Microsoft SQL Server
4. Direct Connection to Oracle
5. Direct Connection to MySQL
6. and others….

There are also a many options using OLD EB and ODBC connection strings as well as Excel, Outlook, XML, and CSV files.

In general connecting to a table, query, or view is straightforward.   But you can also connect to a stored procedure by defining the SQL directly.  And you can pass parameters to those stored procedures as well.

In the following figure, you can see a a stored procedure defined in the SQL block.  This can be edited directly on this form.

As long as you have a valid ODBC, PDC, SDC, or QB Connection, you should be all set to retrieve data from stored procedures.   This implementation is similar in functionality to Microsoft Access Pass-Thru Queries.
