$viewer->onBeginProcessData = function (StiDataEventArgs $args) {
if ($args->connection == 'MyConnectionName')
$args->connectionString = 'Server=localhost; Database=northwind; UserId=root; Pwd=;';
if ($args->dataSource == 'MyDataSource')
$args->queryString = 'SELECT * FROM MyTable';
};
$viewer->process();onBeginProcessData on the server keeps database credentials out of the client; you override the connection string and query for each named data source.
