Hi all,

Platform - windows 2012 r2
sql server 2014

this gives you the name of the report + name of the shared data source;

if your reports have embedded data sources, i think you have to open each report.

from there, would you know offhand which resource is using which library?

select

Catalog.name,

cat1.Name datasource

from

Catalog

join DataSource

on Catalog.ItemID = DataSource.ItemID

join Catalog cat1

on DataSource.Link = cat1.ItemID

where

Catalog.Type = 2

Hi Lowell,

thanks for your response, but I do know the share DS and it is configured using oracle db provider; I wanted to know that which oracle client's library the driver is using

i think you just have to open each datasource in the web client and review it to see if it is using ORAOLEDB.Oracle, or ORAOLEDB.Oracle.1 right? how many unique shared data sources do you have?

on my server, i only have six, so it wouldn't take too long to manually open each one to review.

i just tried to convert the originalConnectionString in ReportServe.dbo.DataSource to a string to charindex it, but it doesn't convert cleanly;

select

convert(varchar(max),convert(varbinary(max),OriginalConnectionString) ) As cn, *

from DataSource
