WE ARE USING THE PROFESIONAL VERSION, I HAVE THE 8.5 DEVELOPER VERSION AND SQL DESIGNER EXIST IN THAT. IS THIS AVAILABLE IN 9.0 PROFESIONAL?
 
Hi Gary,
It is available in Crystal 9 as a separate download. The reason why you need to download it separately is because with Crystal 9 you have Crystal Commands where you can dynamically type SQL statements.

Below is a cut and paste from Crystal Decision's website.

Where to find the Crystal Dictionary and SQL Designer tools for CR 9

The information in the article refers to:
Crystal Reports 9


Applies to:

Reported version only
Crystal Dictionary
SQL Designer



Synopsis

The Crystal Reports Dictionary and SQL Designer tools do not ship with Crystal Report 9.

Is it possible to download the Crystal Reports Dictionary and SQL Designer tools from the Crystal Decisions web site?


Solution

Yes, you can download the Crystal Reports Dictionary and SQL Designer tools from the Crystal Decisions web site.

Search for 'cr9_data_tools.zip' at:

 
It's not a great idea to use these tools, especially since CR 9 supports real SQL within.

If you have a SQL database, but you don't have a tool for constructing SQL, take a look at Embarcadero's products, or other 3rd party tools. Many have graphical interfaces, and once you get the SQL right, you can just paste it into the report, eliminating the additional layer and associated nuisances of the CR Query Designer.

I agree with synapsevampire.

Also if you are using Crystal 8.5 and Crystal 9 in the same computer and you install Crystal SQL Designer, it may remove older versions of Crystal Reports. ( At least it happened to me :))

I am not sure the the SQL designer is even available as a download unless you are using crystal reports v9 developer or advanced edition.
