- Does BIRT 2.2 support "named" parameters of data sets? [message #340492] Fri, 25 January 2008 10:17 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I saw a few postings in the newsgroup about this with no direct answer. Is
there a way in BIRT 2.2 to use named parameters in data sets? The APIs and
the help pages imply it is doable, but when I tried to do it in my custom
ODA driver, the parameters are only bound by "position" and not "name" in
the query implementation. The only work around i could think of is to ask
the user to use a naming convention in naming the params (that include the
position) like "param1, param2...etc", which is ugly. If there is right way
to do this properly? If not, is it scheduled to be done in an upcoming
version of BIRT? I appreciate your help.

Maged,

Support of "named" parameters defined by an ODA driver has been added since
BIRT 2.2.1.
See the comments in Bugzilla
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=122194#c7 on the specifics.
