Crystal report with Mysql

[Maurizio]

TO Fernando González Diez

I used Crystal Report for years wiyh DBF file and DLL CRPE.
Now need to use Mysql and I want to use Crystal report with COM .

I found your example ( http://fivetechsupport.com/forums/viewt ... 12#p143336 )
I know it's for ADS but I think is equal in Mysql.
In some parts I can make it work and I wanted to ask your help

I need to change the userID and the password , I try with LogOnServer and SetLogOnInfo but I have some error.

I have error With formulas and Parametros to .
I Use :
oCrp:FormulaFields:GetItemByName( 'vAlmacen' ):Text( "**Test**" )
oCrp:RecordSelectionFormula( '{FVCAB.FACTURA} = " --Test---"' )

I use Crystal report 8.

your help is greatly appreciated

I do not use MySQL
Looking on google, I saw that connects to MySQL through ODBC:
oCRDatabase:LogOnServer( "pdsodbc.dll", "NAME SERVER", "NAME DATABASE" "USER", "PASS" )
oCRTable:SetLogOnInfo( "NAME SERVER", "NAME DATABASE", "USER", "PASS" )

oCRParameterField:GetItemByName('pFchIni'):AddCurrentValue( dFchIni )
The parameters used for the step of vars the ADS Procedures using the report.

send me the rpt, and try to review it.

//// oCRDatabase:LogOnServer( "pdsodbc.dll", "NAME SERVER", "NAME DATABASE" "USER", "PASS" )

Dear All,

I try with this ::logonserver() to MySql via ODBC but it isn't successful.
It errors on :LogOnServer() as

Thank you in advance for any help and suggestion.

I use :

Code: Select all  Expand view

TRY
       oCRDatabase:LogOnServer ('pdsodbc.dll',cODBC ,cDataBase, cUserName ,cPassword  )

   CATCH
      ? "Errore in Apertura dati MySQL utente o password sbagliati  "
      Return nil

May be this can be useful:

Code: Select all  Expand view

for n := 1 to nTables
    oDbTable := oDbTables:Item(n)
    oDbTable:dllname := "crdb_ads.dll" // or "crdb_odbc.dll" or anyother
    //Get and delete all connection properties
    oProp := oDBTable:ConnectionProperties()
    oProp:DeleteAll()
    //new con props! replace 2nd parameter with con string based on DSN name
    oProp:add("DatabaseName","DSN=ADS_CDX;Datadirectory="+((cLocal)+"\crwfup.add")+;
                         ";ConnectionHandle=alltrim(str(nHandle))"+;
                         ";Compression=Internet;DefaultType=FoxPro;ServerTypes=7"+;
                         ";AdvantageLocking=ON;CharSet=OEM;Language=ANSI;Locking=RECORD"+;
                         ";UID=crystalreports;PWD=YOURPWD"+;
                         ";EncryptionPassword=YOURPWD")
next
 

Another alternative if we have the report configured for any specific DSN we just alter the DSN parameters at ODBC not at the report:

Code: Select all  Expand view

IF ConfigDSN( 0,ODBC_CONFIG_DSN,"Microsoft FoxPro VFP Driver (*.dbf)", ;
                "DSN=My Name"+chr(0)+;
                "SourceDB="+(cLocal)+chr(0)+;
                "Description=ODBC for my database"+chr(0)+;
                "SourceType=DBF"+chr(0)+;
                "BackgroundFetch=Yes"+chr(0)+;
                "Exclusive=No"+chr(0)+;
                "Null=Yes"+chr(0)+;
                "Deleted=Yes"+chr(0)+;
                "Collate=Machine"+chr(0)+;
                "SetNoCountOn=No"+chr(0)) =0

   MSGINFO("Inform user could not run report")
ENDIF                
 

Yet another alternative alter location of each table:

Code: Select all  Expand view

for n := 1 to nTables
    oDbTable := oDbTables:Item(n)
    oDbTable:location := (cLocal)+"\"+oDbtable:name+".dbf"
next

Ex ConfigDSN for VFP

Code: Select all  Expand view

DLL FUNCTION ConfigDSN( hEnv AS LONG, fRequest AS WORD, ;
                                    lpsDriverv AS LPSTR, lpsAttrib AS LPSTR  ) ;
   AS _INT PASCAL LIB "VFPODBC.DLL"

Dear Antonio,

Thank you so much, I got and understand to use CRXIR2 from your code but I use MySql. Your sample code login is used for ADS.

Dear Maurizio,

I try as your recommend but I cannot find pdsodbc.dll. It has only p2sodbc.dll in the internet. I try with this dll but it still show an error.

Code: Select all  Expand view

Description : Error CrystalRuntime.Application.11:OPENREPORT:DATABASE/3  DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND: LOGONSERVER
   Args:
     [   1] = C   p2sodbc.dll
     [   2] = C   localhost
     [   3] = C   easyfo
     [   4] = C   root
     [   5] = C   xxxx

But I use CR XI R2, it's document tell that the DLL file to use with ODBC is crdb_odbc.dll.

Thank you in advance for kind help.

Dear Maurizio,

Thank you for your kind help. I didn't get error now. I'm putting wrong cServerName, it should be "Data Source Name" in ODBC. Now I can run the CRViewer in localhost.

But I cannot change the database location, it is still reading from localhost, even I change to Data Source to MySql on WebSite.

What do I wrong?

[Maurizio]

Have you created DSN ODBC?

Yes, I do.
This is Connection Parameters

           oCRDatabase:LogOnServer( cDll, cServer, cDatabase, cUser, cPassword )       

            nTables     := oCRTables:count()

        CATCH
            lStart := .F.
            MsgAlert('Cannot connect to '+cServer)

Now, the problem is the report can not find the table. It shows error message as below
The table "fotbl" could not be found.

I got it now. I miss 1 line.

Code: Select all  Expand view

oCRTable:Location := cDatabase+"."+oCRTable:Location

Thanks for all.

Dear All,

I use ADS9 (Free table) and Crystal Report XI R2.

How can I change at runtime. I try as following code but it got an error "Invalid Argument Provided"
