Hi,
I am trying to develop a report using Crystal that reports against a stored procedure. The stored procedure creates a table based on a few queries, a few parameters input, and the returns the rows of the table with counts of specific records based on grouping. Crystal would then display the results of these counts and within Crystal I would breakdown these groups into smaller groups with counts.
I can execute the functions and have it return either rowsets or record sets in a pgadminIII window. However when I try to use Crystal to report against it I get an error when adding it via the database expert. "Unable to identify a function that satisfies the given argument types. You may need to add explicit typecasts."
If I create a view against the stored procedure and have Crystal point to the view then it allows me to add the view to the report and it works fine. The problem with this is that I then lose my ability to pass the parameters to the stored procedure when the report is run.
The report requirements force much of the grouping and counting to be done before passing the data to Crystal since by design Crystal seems to only allow all of the rows of the table to be parsed from beginning to end once.
Is anyone aware of a workaround that would enable me to report against a function which returns a rowset or record set in Crystal?
