public class Database
extends JdbcData
implements java.io.Serializable, com.inet.report.database.sql.SqlSyntax
```
This class is a layer between a DBMS or any other data source and i-net Clear Reports. It compensate the differences between the different DBMS. This class is the default implementation and should work with any SQL99 compatible database. The major information are:
- whether a JDBC driver is used to fetch the data or if you want to set the data directly via engine.setData() or engine.setResultSet()
- whether or not the data must be fetched for every instance of the sub-report on only once
- the string that this database uses to represent a boolean
Additionally this class provides a method which is called to fetch the data from the database. This method is called when the report engine is executed and fetches the data for both, the main report and all its sub-reports. You may override this method and use engine.setData() if you want to fetch the report data yourself.
We first describe how data for the main report is fetched:
- We check which DataSourceConfiguration is used in the report template. You can override the DataSourceConfiguration via the Datasource.setup or via the URL parameter datasource=.
- The appropriate driver is loaded with the appropriate URL and the appropriate properties.
- A connection to the database is opened. This only happens when the maximum number of connections (MaxConnections=5 in the i-net Clear Reports configuration) is not exceeded---and if the method database.useJdbcDriver() returns true.
- The meta-data is examined and the appropriate database class is loaded
- An SQL statement is created and executed in the database if database.useJdbcDriver() returns true.
- The report data is fetched by calling the method getReportData(). The data is fetched, unnecessary records are discarded, the data is sorted and grouped and stored into the engine by using the method engine.setData().
- The connection is closed immediately.
Fetching data for sub-reports is more complicated. Each sub-report is a complete report in its own right and thus consumes one connection to the database. Also a sub-report may be called more than once for each main report. For a given main report a sub-report must be re-executed and its report data must be fetched again if it is called with different set of parameters. This means that the database connection for a sub-report cannot be closed immediately, instead it will be closed after the main report has finished executing.
In the i-net Clear Reports configuration the maximum of connections is set to 5 (MaxConnections=5). If your main report consumes one connection then your sub-reports can only consume MaxConnections-1 connections. So please set MaxConnections to an appropriate value. For example if you have a report which consumes a database connection and 5 sub-reports where each sub-report also consume one database connection set the value MaxConnections=6. However, if your reports use more than 2 or 3 sub-reports, you should better change the layout of your report.
If you override the method getReportData(), you could specify if the method getReportData() should be called whenever the set of parameters changes for the sub-report or only once. You do this by overriding the method getReportDataPerInstance() to return true.

    If passed String contains the qote character, it will be quoted.
    So the String Hello 'World' will transformed to 'Hello ''World'''.
    
    This function can be used to transform the String that multilanguage characters will supported. For MS SQL Server for example the class DatabaseSqlServer prefix the N. So the String Hello 'World' will transformed to N'Hello ''World'''.

                         throws ReportException
```
    Creates a SQL92 expression with function and one parameter.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toSQL92 in interface com.inet.report.database.sql.SqlSyntax
    
    Parameters:
    
    function - the function
    
    field - the parameter field
    
    Returns:
    
    the result expression
    
    Throws:
    
    ReportException - the data access failed
    
    Since:
    
    11.0
  - convertToBoolean
```
public java.lang.String convertToBoolean(boolean value)
```
    Returns the representation of a boolean value in the query language of the database. The result depends of the ability of the database to resolve boolean constants.
    
    Specified by:
    
    convertToBoolean in interface com.inet.report.database.sql.SqlSyntax
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the boolean value to convert
    
    Returns:
    
    the database dependent representation of a boolean
    
    Since:
    
    11.0
  - convertToBoolean
```
public java.lang.String convertToBoolean(java.lang.String fieldReference,
                                         boolean invert)
```
    If required, this function modifies a field reference to convert the value of the field to a boolean. This is required in case the database has no real boolean representation and uses a bit or number instead.
    
    Specified by:
    
    convertToBoolean in interface com.inet.report.database.sql.SqlSyntax
    
    Parameters:
    
    fieldReference - the plain field reference for the column which is supposed to contain a boolean value
    
    invert - set whether to invert the value of the field
    
    Returns:
    
    the modified field reference, may be the original one in case the database supports boolean columns
    
    Since:
    
    11.0
  - convertIdentifier
```
public java.lang.String convertIdentifier(Datasource ds,
                                          java.lang.String identifier)
```
    Checks whether an identifier can be used right away or has to be quoted due to invalid characters or keywords. If the identifier requires to be modified, this method will return a modified and valid identifier. Otherwise the original string is returned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    convertIdentifier in interface com.inet.report.database.sql.SqlSyntax
    
    Parameters:
    
    ds - the description of all tables used in the current database; required to avoid using table names as identifier. may be null
    
    identifier - the identifier to convert to a valid SQL identifier, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    a valid SQL identifier
    
    Since:
    
    14.0
  - getSqlSyntax
```
public com.inet.report.database.sql.SqlSyntax getSqlSyntax()
```
    Returns the SQL syntax definition instance for this data factory.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSqlSyntax in interface DataFactory
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSqlSyntax in class JdbcData
    
    Returns:
    
    the SQL syntax definition instance for this data factory
  - fetchData
```
public void fetchData(Engine engine,
                      FetchTables fetchTables,
                      DataCollector dataCollector)
               throws ReportException
```
    Fetches the part of the report data for which this data factory is responsible. A description about what tables are required to fetch is given in the specified FetchTables instance. The resulting fetched data is put to the specified DataCollector during execution of this method.
    An example implementation for this method:
    
    for( TableSource tableSource : fetchDef.getTableSources() ) { TableData tableData; // retrieve data for table source "tableSource" tableData = [...] // deliver the data to the collector: collector.addUnjoinedData( tableSource, tableData ); }
    Specified by:
    
    fetchData in interface DataFactory
    
    Overrides:
    
    fetchData in class BaseDataFactory
    
    Parameters:
    
    engine - the engine of the report to render
    
    fetchTables - a model of joining table describing the data this data factory needs to deliver
    
    dataCollector - the collector which receives any resulting data
    
    Throws:
    
    ReportException - on failures during data fetching
