The purpose of this course is to enable delegates to derive information from a database and produce reports using BI/Query.
In order to understand BI/Query models, a simple view of relational databases will be presented.
By the end of the course delegates should appreciate the range of information potentially available via ad-hoc reporting using BI/QUERY and be able to use BI/QUERY to extract information.
The course will largely follow a workshop format.
The course is based on a standard database.
It may be possible to tailor the course to a specific database.
Please contact us if this is what is required.
