Report DB - Design versus production

rglunt

<p>I am testing iHub F-type as a possible solution for my web application.  I typically design against a local copy of our production database as our production database is not available for connections outside of lcoalhost.  Does the Designer embed the DB connection in the report file that is uploaded to F-Type?  If so what is the best practice for connecting to the production DB after uploading?</p>

<p>The most secure way of doing this is using connection profiles, documented here:</p>
