Answer / mounika

We can report by adding SQL from an external source without
using Query items from Framework.
Steps:--
-->Create a new report with blank page
-->Pause the pointer over the query explorer button and
clink Queries.
-->In intersect objects pane,to build the SQL query drag
SQL to the query.
-->In properties pane double click the datasource property
and click data source
-->Double click SQl or MDx and type SQL
-->validate the SQL.
-->If SQL is valid,then Query items defined in SQl appear
in the data item pane.
-->From insertable pane click list or crosstab or chart or
repeater in working area.
-->Drag query items in to working area from data items tab.
-->save the report.
