Thanks Franck !
This is a big help ! I have been in touch with Brio for several days, and it
is helpful now to know what to specifically ask for during the demo !

Thanks again !

hi,

Since version 5 of sqr, using the DDO interface you can open mutiple
data source to extract/publish data.
with SQR 4 this only available using the odbc version of the product.
Contact your nearest brio Office to have a demonstration/presentation of
the product.
I will recommand you also to look to the product Brio.query to create
very nice and powerfull reports that combine multiple datasource.

Franck,
