# Part VII
Building Reports with Pluggable Data Sources

This part introduces reports that use data sources other than the database. These reports use data sources available with Oracle Reports or combine information from one or more of these data sources to publish meaningful information.

This part contains the following chapters:

- Chapter 41, "Building a Report with an XML Pluggable Data Source"

  A report with an XML pluggable data source enables you to connect to any data source that is available with Oracle Reports, for example XML data. Usage of alternate data sources is possible due to the pluggable data source (PDS) architecture of Reports Builder.

- Chapter 42, "Building a Report with a Text Pluggable Data Source"

  A report can contain a text pluggable data source-such as a report that uses character-delimited text as a data source.

- Chapter 43, "Building a Report Using Oracle Express Data"

  An Express report is a report based on an Oracle Express pluggable data source. This report enables you to deliver results of on-line analytical processing (OLAP) by using a multidimensional data model. You can refine the data model and Express query.
