Hi jimp,

Yes, One of the extension points for BIRT is for creating custom data sources. If you are using BIRT 2.2 or higher, you can get started creating a custom data source by creating a new "ODA Runtime Driver..." and a new "ODA Designer..." project. If you create these in the order above and use the defaults, it will create a simple stubbed out data source that you can modify.
