[SOLVED] Displaying Data from 2 Data Sources in a single Excel Document

I've got a possible requirement to consolidate data from multiple sources (Postgres and MYSQL as an example) and display below below one another in the same Excel report. Now, when I did initial tests in HTML and WP format, they worked fine. However, when I changed them to EXL2K, it only showed the first data set (sort of skipped the second one)

Is there a possible way to achieve this? Anyone had to do something similiar? I've prepared some sample code any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks


SET EMPTYREPORT=ON

-* From Postgres
ENGINE SQLPSTGR SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION reports
ENGINE SQLPSTGR SET VARCHAR OFF
SQL SQLPSTGR PREPARE SQLOUT FOR

SELECT * from industry limit 10;
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
HEADING
"Data From Postgres DB"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K FORMULA
END

-* From T2
ENGINE SQLMYSQL SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION t2
ENGINE SQLMYSQL SET VARCHAR OFF
SQL SQLMYSQL PREPARE SQLOUT FOR

SELECT * from supplier limit 10;
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
HEADING
"Data From MySQL DB"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K FORMULA
END

If there is requirement to display multiple reports in one excel sheet then it needs to be implemented using compound reports.Following code may help to achieve the requirement.Here the compound report has been implemented using
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K OPEN NOBREAK
and
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K CLOSE
hope this helps

Thanks jvb

It helps now. Just to add-on if I wanted them on 2 separate sheets (tabs) with Postgre on one tab and MySQl on another how would we break that? (I'm anticipating this could crop up later)
