Hi all, we need to fetch the data for our reports from InfluxDB. Users are supposed to create their own report templates and write the InfluxDB queries themselves. Since InfluxDB query language is very similar to SQL, we thought of developing a JDBC driver for InfluxDB and use it to generate reports both from Jasper studio and programatically using Jasper library. So basically I have 2 questions: When generating reports programatically, we will be passing java.sql.Connectiion (conn) as an argument, when executing report like this:JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(reportTemplate, parameters, conn); In that case the SQL query defined in the report template will no longer be executed on the JDBC Data Adapter defined in the report template, but on the provided connection instead. When we were testing this with Postgres JDBC driver, that's how things worked. But I'm wondering, is there anything else besides implementing InfluxDB JDBC driver, we need to do, in order for report template to use the provided DB connection instead of data adapter, to execute the SQL queries? I couldn't find any documentation on this, and since Jasper library handles all of this under the hood, it's not that obvious if and what else needs to be done. Is the approach described above OK? I would hate to realize we are reinventing the wheel after we've already spent significant amount of time on the implementation. Thanks, Sadi
