[NEW] Valentina Reports adds Oracle as Datasource

We almost forgot when talking about MS SQL Server support that Valentina Reports can also use Oracle Database Server as a datasource. You can do this on all three supported operating systems with Valentina Reports ADK 5.5, with a little help from Valentina Studio Pro. And you don’t need Java or expensive solutions like Crystal Reports, Actuate or Oracle’s BI Publisher.

Consider also that there’s a Valentina Reports ADK for every major development environment – .net, Objective-C, C++, even COM, and RAD tools like LiveCode, Xojo or even…unbelievably…Adobe Director!

Right now you can…

Download Valentina Studio to do the following steps…
Make a new Valentina Project (from File Menu) on your desktop
Make a new datasource — define to your Oracle server
Make a new Report – can be with simple query as SELECT * FROM T, do click, click, click in the wizard to get default layout of fields.
Click PREVIEW button on the left to see report with data from your Oracle Server.

To start use this new datasource in your application you need just to specify a corresponded string that describes datasource connection string. See details.
