We have a SQL Server replication database that we report against using ODBC drivers. However the reports are causing locks, which are holding up replication.
Normally in other ODBC drivers, we set the isolation level to "read-uncommitted" or something similar.
The only way i know of to do this with SQL Server is to manually change the query to have the "With (nolock)" statement included in the query. In older version sof Crystal we could manually edit the SQL query and add that type of statement. However, with CR2013, I don;t see how I can edit the query any more.
A. Is it still possible to manually adjust the query?
B. How else can I change the isolation to not lock when running reports?
