Let's say you have an ODBC DSN setup for a particular SQL Server 2000 database.

Is it a good common practice to connect to that data within Crystal Reports, when setting up a Crystal Report? (I.e, "Data Explorer -> ODBC DSN -> Appropriate Table")?

As opposed to connecting to the same data through "... -> More Data Sources -> Microsoft SQL Server"?
