Accessing database data using a textual query
A report can access data from any database or other data source that uses a JDBC driver. Most relational databases, such as Oracle, SQL Server, or MySQL, use JDBC drivers. Make sure you have the appropriate JDBC driver for the database that you want to access. BIRT supports JDBC 3.0 drivers. Download the necessary drivers from a data source vendor or third-party web site.
