[news.eclipse.dtp] Re: UML ODA Driver

[Philip Ritzkopf <philip.ritzkopf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

thanks again for the hint! The BIRT report I'm currently working on 
seems to require the use of nested tables with parameterized joint 
datasets as it has been demonstrated for sql based datasets here:
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/examples/reports/birt2.1/subreport/index.php

So, I guess this is a feature request for the oda ecore enablement 
plug-in to support input parameters for datasets. I suppose this can be 
implemented as Gary Xue explains here: 
http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t68511.html#92006629

and similar to what has been implemented in: 
org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.ws.impl.Query

This feature might even present a good alternative to the solution 
proposed here:
