Really there are a couple of ways. The one I use most often is creating a Command object and putting the SQL code in it. You can find them explained in the help file Search 'commands'.
You can also use SQL expressions but they seem to have a more limited application.

On the Data tab of the Database Expert dialog box, look for your data source and underneath it will be the Add Command node. Click on it to open a window where you type in your SQL statement. Save it and then you can use it on your report.
If you're looking for ways to optimize your reports with SQL Server, I have almost 40 pages of tips and tricks in Chapter 11, "Optimizing SQL Performance", of my CR Encyclopedia book.
