Reportnet Query.

Hi

Can we use Text files as a source instead of loading the data into database for reportnet reports.
Does this affect performance?.
Any idea about demerrits of the same? Please advice

Thanks in advance

You could maybe configure ODBC to use a text file, as long as these files are available to your server and you have defined them thru Framework Manager.

I would consider this a horrible solution though, and would not recommend this. By doing this, you would bypass benefits of having a database, and all caluculations/processing would be performed on your CRN server.

If you want to use text files, I would stick to MS Access.
