| Two queries on oracle Report Builder 9.0.2.1.1
|
| a) is it possible to create several reports from the one query?
| At the moment I run a report to create a PDF report for one option, I
| shut down the report, and run the report again to create a PDF with
| another name. Is it possible that while report builder is running to
| close the first PDF and open a new PDF with another name?
|

no, only one output file

| b) is it possible to create a PDF report and save it straight to the
| database?
| My aim is to create a PDF report and store it as a BLOB on a table. I
| have this as a two-step process at the moment. A report creates the
| PDF file on the operating system. Afterwhich a piece of pl/sql reads
| this PDF and saves it in a BLOB column on the database. Is it possible
| to replace two steps with one step?

no, output options are to file, cache, screen, printer --- but not database
