Send data to DataPipeline

edited September 2008 in Datapipelines
Hi,

I must dynamically (Delphi project) build a report that will show a
lot of data.

The data is loaded from the database, filtered and processed, and must
then be displayed on a report.

What would be the most efficient way to connect the data to a
datapipeline?

What kind of datasource should I use? Define my own and use the
TPPCustomDataPipeline?

It cannot be directly linked to the database because of the
processing, and it's too much data to send to a file and use a
textpipeline.

An example or documentation on how to do this would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Chantal Marchand

    Hi Chantal,

    I would suggest using the JITPipeline to access your data. The JITPipeline
    can essentially gather data from any datasource because it is completely
    customizable in how it retrieves data. Take a look at the "no database"
    examples located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory for
    examples of how the JITPipelines should be used. Specifically demos 139 and
    140.

    Thank you,

    I couldn't find any help on the JITPipeline because somehow it's not
    integrated into my delphi help but I finally found the source help
    file and the demo's, and it now works fine

    There is a tutorial in the Developers Guide as well. And the completed
    tutorials are installed.
