Display data source connection string?

  • Is there any way I can show the data source connection string on the face of my reports?

    It would be handy to know as I'm switching between 2 versions of the same database on occasion and things are getting a bit tricky.

  • You might not want the whole connection string for that. Has security implications.

    If you add "@@servername" as a column in the query, and add that to the report, that should give you what you need. (Assuming they're on different servers.)

    If the same server, DB_NAME will do for that.
