I have a Crystal Report I’m working on; last week it was returning results

  • 0

I have a Crystal Report I’m working on; last week it was returning results but when I fired it up this morning I was no longer getting anything. Checking the SQL query, I show that the table name is listed twice, for some reason:

 SELECT "WMS_TESTINFO"."RECORD_NAME"
 FROM   "TestEnv"."dbo"."WMS_TESTINFO" "WMS_TESTINFO"

Any thoughts on what could have broken? I’ve checked that the database is connected and my data is still there.

    The table name is listed twice as Crystal Reports creates an alias for every table.

    This Crystal generated SQL:

    FROM "TestEnv"."dbo"."WMS_TESTINFO" "WMS_TESTINFO"

    Is in the format of:

    FROM DATABASE.OWNER.TABLENAME ALIAS

    This is normal for Crystal.

    I would run that SQL in SSMS (remembering to remove all of the " first) to check that the data really is still there.

    If it is, check that a filter hasn’t been added to the report, via the Select Expert menu opton, to filter out all the data.

    enter image description here

    Lastly, go to Database > Set Datasource Location and re-apply the connection to ensure that the report is definitely pointing at the right location.
