Hi

Is it possible to update a database column from 0 to 1 after the user has run the report for all the id's that I have listed in the report?

Ideally there would be a prompt asking the user to confirm they wish to update the database for the listed id's, if not just update the database when its run would be a step in the right direction!!.

Any suggestions how to do this?

Regards
Paul

Take a look at the example I attached from the birt-exchange devshare. It uses a servlet to write back to the DB.

Thanks for your reply.

I was hoping for something a little less complicated!!. Is using a servlet the only way to write back to the database using BIRT?

Paul,
The only two ways to write back to a db would be writing a servlet or you could import the packages and write back to the DB directly from script similar to how the servlet is setup in the example I posted. I can write an example report showing how to do it from script if you'd like.

If you could write a sample report that would be great.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Kristopher

Have you been able to write a report to show how to do it from script?

Thanks
Paul
