LOOK Systems Training

BI/Query for Users

Ref: LKBIUSER


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.
