database model / partial accces on oracle views

edited July 2011 in FreeReport
Hello,

I'm using odbc connection to an oracle database. Because he database structure is a little bit crazy, I want to create views on my database and give to users using FR only select access on these views, to nothing else.

So I created a new oracle user and gave him access only on these views.

When creating a database connection in FR I see some tables beginning with "XDB." , "FLOWS.", "MDSYS." or "CTX_SYS." but I don't see the views I have created. In general FR seems not to offer views, only tables.

When creating an sql statement using this views, this works fine. But I don't want to force the user to create reports writing sql's. They should select from the offered views. So how to get FR to show also the views?

Regards
Dirk
