Importing data


Your data can be from multiple sources, such as databases, Internet/intranet, or files. This section will give a short introduction to the various options.

The database we use is described on eclipse's BIRT Sample Database page (http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/db/#schema).

Starting Java DB

Once you have Java DB installed (unzipped the binary distribution from Derby (http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html) or located your JDK), you should also download the BirtSample.jar file from this book's website (originally from http://mirror-fpt-telecom.fpt.net/eclipse/birt/update-site/3.7-interim/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.sampledb_3.7.2.v20120213.jar.pack.gz). Unzip the content to the database server's install folder...
