BIRT XLS data source [message #242784] Thu, 14 June 2007 22:15 Go to next message

Hello everybody!

I faced some problem. I need to obtain data from XLS file. was trying to
establish connection via Plain Text Data Source, but it uses comma delimiter
whereas Excel uses only semicolon delimiter for CSV files. In other way I
save XLS file in DBF format, but all opensource jdbc drivers i've found
don't provide functionality I need. So the question becomes how can I
obtain data from XLS file? I don't want to use scripted data source or other
hardcoding ways. Any peace of advise is thankfull.

Best Regards,
Viktor Stolbin

Viktor,

The 2.2 flat file driver can use semicolon seperated files.

I take 2.2 flat file driver and use it in BIRT 2.1?

Viktor,

I do not think they are backward compatible, but you may be able to
checkout the ff driver for 2.1 and modify it.

OK.
And please could you make my searches in BIRT plugins more resultative by
passing me a direction I should move. In other words, what plugins should I
examine for FF Driver?

Viktor,

BIRT 2.1.2 used
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.flatfile.ui_3.0.2.200 608301.jar
and
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.flatfile_3.0.2.200608 311.jar
for the flat file driver. I would check these out of CVS and compare to
the lastest versions for DTP. If you want you may be able to just
checkout the above driver and hard code the comma separator to a ;.
