Show Database name in visual
Is there a way to display the database name from the connection information in a visual on a page?
spartan27244 why not store the database name in a parameter and then use that parameter in your queries and also use that parameter to display on the report. If you change parameter value database a to b, it will also change the queries and also show on the report. It is a much cleaner and scalable solution and you don't have to manually change the database name in the queries.
