Pulling the data from Work_item_extra_data table

1) Iam trying to generate a simple report to get the work item and its description, I am trying to use Work_item_extra_data table for it, when ever I try preview the results I get BIRT exception occured error

2)I also want to combine the 2 data sets, I mean the data from Work_item_extra_data table and live_work_item_cnt table to to get the report that has the following columns:
WI_id, Summary, Description, Team Area, duration etc.,, the only reason I need to join these tables is to get the Description column value.

Can someone please help me with this please

What is the BIRT exception? What version of RTC client and server are
you using?

Don't simply use a joint data set on those two tables - it will fetch
large amounts of data and join them in memory (Rather than using a
database join). A more efficient approach would be to fetch the
live_workitem_cnt data set first and create a table from it. Then,
inside the table, drop the row from the workitem_Extra_Data table and
bind its parameter to the work item ID for that particular table row.

Hope this helps.
