Understanding Crystal Report Connections

[RaymondAC]

This question is regarding the My Connections listed in the Database Expert.

In other development environments, a connection is only the details required to connect to a particular database server and database. You can then run as many different queries as needed that reference the single connection (data source).

It seems that in Crystal Reports a connection is the combination of the data source details AND a single query (Command). Is that correct?

Never mind. I see now that you can create multiple Commands that reference a single Connection.

CR doesn't rwecommend using multiple Commands to access the same database. If you must use a subreport per Command
