Crystal Reports & Bugzilla

[Kevin Benton]

FYI all - I was able to hook up Crystal Reports 10 to BZ without any
difficulties at all.  The process was extremely simple for me.  

 

*	Install MyODBC on my local host (Windows - yes, I know, but I won't
go there),
*	Configure MyODBC to talk to the Bugzilla DB in MySQL.  Make sure
that you have MySQL set up to allow remote access to the login if the MySQL
server isn't on the local machine.
*	Start Crystal Reports
*	Select the new ODBC path you created.
*	You're off to the races. :-)

 

What you might find interesting is once MyODBC is installed as above, you
can also use MS-Access's reporting functions to generate reports from your
Bugzilla DB as well (for those who might not want to spend the $195 retail
for CR 10 SE).  That wouldn't be my favorite way in the world of generating
reports for BZ, but sometimes you gotta do what the boss wants.  :-)

Has anyone here gotten CR to work with BZ?  If so, do you have any tips on
getting them hooked up together?
