For this page obtain a master page by using GetMasterPage request.
Use a reusable part that can parse a string
request.GetMasterPage.classname=com.ai.masterpage.RequestBasedMasterPagePart
request.GetMasterPage.masterPageTemplateRN=GetMasterPageTemplate
request.GetMasterPage.cacheKey=/{ownerUserId}/masterpage
Get the string from a database. Expect "ownerUserId" as an input parameter
request.GetMasterPageTemplate.classname=com.ai.db.DBRequestExecutor2
request.GetMasterPageTemplate.db=reportsDB
request.GetMasterPageTemplate.stmt=\
\
select st.statement as masterPageTemplate \

where 1=1 \
and r.report_content_id = st.statement_id \
and r.report_id = (select master_page_template_item_id from users where user_id = {ownerUserId.quote})
