SQL Query Builder [message #368608]

Hi,
Is there any specific reason as to why the "SQL Query Builder" is only a
part of the connection profile. Why is it not a part of the normal
creation of data source flow?

Is this feature extendible? Can we add functionality to it.

Also can we re-use it in our self written UI wizard (plugin) where in we
invoke/use this SQL Query Builder somewhere in our flow.

Regards,
Anirudh

Also, why is it only a part of eclipse framework and not included in the
RCP Designer.

Thanks,
Anirudh

Anirudh,

The SQL Query Builder (SQB) is a Data Tools Platform project component
integrated with BIRT. It requires the use of a DTP database connection
profile. It is technically feasible to convert a BIRT JDBC data source
design to a DTP database profile, so it can be used with SQB. Please go
ahead and submit an enhancement request in Bugzilla, if this feature is
important.
You can certainly adopt the DTP SQB component directly. Here are some links
to the SQB project:

The SQB component has dependency on other bundles (i.e. org.eclipse.ui.ide
and org.eclipse.debug.core) that are not normally packaged in a RCP
application.

BTW, these issues are tracked in Bugzilla 275522 and 275524.

Linda,

Thanks for the information. BIRT 2.3 has SQB shpped as prototype. I found
no reference of the state being changed to production from prototype for
any later release. Is the state going to change in BIRT 2.5 release or any
future releases.

Thanks,
Anirudh

Anirudh,

The SQB is still being label as a prototype in BIRT 2.5 release. We do find
that the SQB tool is quite stable. However, any bugs that may be found with
the SQB itself is dependent on limited DTP resouces available. Whether that
situation will change in future releases, will be one of the factors on
whether BIRT can upgrade its state.
