I canu00B4t use different Databases

Question

Hi ,
i need help !
I´m using CR XI and MS SQL Server 2005.  I use  ODBC(RDO) to read data from the server.
when i define the SQL command myself with the database assistant / adding a command the command looks like this:
SELECT  field_list
FROM   Table1  T1
INNER JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.ID = T2.ID
This command is useable for different databases.
When i select the needed tables with the database assistant,  the SQL command looks like this:
SELECT  field_list
FROM   "DatabasName"."dbo"."Table1" "Table1"
INNER JOIN "DatabasName"."dbo"."Table2" "Table2" ON "Table1"."ID"="Table2"."ID"
in this sample, the databasename is also a part of the SQL command therfore i can´t use the report with an other database.
What can i do to suppress the databasename in the command ?  I need the second way because i have to give some parameters and formulas with the calling program to select the data.
thanks forward

Klaus,
When CR writes the SQL for you it uses the 4 part, fully qualified table name. Can't turn that part off.
You can, however, add parameters to a SQL Command without any problems. Just add the parameter to the SQL and to the Parameter List pane of the Command window.
For Example...
SELECT field_list
FROM Table1 T1
INNER JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.ID = T2.ID
WHERE T1.ID BETWEEN '{?FirstParameter}' AND '{?LastParameter}'
They work just like SQL Variables, except that you don't have to DECLARE them in the SQL itself... that and there is no @ symbol...
HTH,
