4. Double-click the Database Reader and set the following properties:

   • Database Driver: In the menu, select the CData JDBC driver.

5. Test the connection by clicking Fetch Metadata.

   
6. Connect the Database Reader to a Data to Report node to supply the dataset to a range of data visualization controls. Click Execute and then click Edit Report at the top of the workflow to open the report designer perspective.
7. You can now generate reports based on live data. To create a chart, drag the chart control from the palette to the report designer. In the resulting wizard, you can use the filtering and aggregation controls available in KNIME.
