I need to run a pre-created SQL statement using the 'Add Command'. The SQL statement uses tables from two different databases. Is there a way to connection to a DB2 AND an Oracle database in Crystal 10?
 
Never heard of a pre-created SQL statenment that connects to two databases, please share how this is done from whatever tool you were using to pre-create it.

You can connect to multiple data sources using the Add Command and then link them, but it'll be slow and your limited to fewer join types. You can also just use the Crystal Database Expert GUI.

You might be able to link the Oracle and DB2 servers, or a common means of accomplishing the equivalent is to LINK the disparate data sources into MS Access and create an Access query as the data source for Crystal.
