Function Description
The data source of a multi-source report is a dataset or a collection of multiple datasets, each with a unique name typically represented as ds1, ds2, etc. A report with only one dataset as its data source is called a single-source report. A report with multiple datasets as its data source is called a multi-source report.
FineReport supports multi-source reports. You can define multiple datasets in a report to retrieve the required database tables from a database or even different databases. This document uses several examples to illustrate how data from multiple datasets can be interconnected to create a multi-source report.
