Does BIRT craetes table component/object for Hidden tables

Hi,

Am using jdbc and scripted data sources. One Data set fetches the data using jdbc ds and adds it to the list. Another data set with scripted ds processes data and displays in report.

For the jdbc query to execute, i have created a hidden table whose data set as discussed earlier populates list.

My query is: Do these hidden tables consume memory? Do BIRT create table component for hidden table? This matters as our report is large.

Pl. let me know if more clarification is needed

Thanks & Regards,

Ashish

Hi Ashish,

So, you're creating a table with your JDBC dataSet data and using the BIRT visibility feature to "hide" the table? If this is what you mean, then yes, BIRT does still create this table, it is just not displayed.

Hope this answers your question. Let me know.
