I'm a Microsoft Reporting Services person and am new to Crystal Reports. I have some books on order but until then I guess the most important thing I need to know is how to make a report based on SQL (not dragging and dropping tables). Anyone who has used MS Reporting Services will know what I mean.

 

I like to first do SQL code in the 'SQL Developer', then I like to make the report from that SQL code. Not drag and drop tables and rely on the Reporting Services product to do all the SQL work (if that makes sense).

 

Is this possible with Crystal Reports? If so can someone give me please tell me how to do it to get me going. I can't find out where to do this.

 

I have version 12.2

 

Thanks!
