SQL Data Reports Overview

In dbForge Studio for SQL Server, a report can be bound or unbound to the data source and consists of bands (blocks) that represent a specific control such as text, image, check box, label, table, chart, pivot table, etc. The Report Builder helps you to automatically create a report based on the type and options that would cover your needs best. With a SQL data reporting tool, you can build:

  • Simple data report from scratch
  • Data-aware report based on existing database objects or data received from a SQL query
  • Master-detail report to display data from a hierarchical data source
Overview of different SQL data reports that can be built with the Report Builder reporting tool

Building SQL Reports

To start building a report, use Data Report Wizard, Blank Data Report to create reports from scratch, or the Send to option available in Database Explorer and Data Editor.

The tools enable to create a new report either blank or based on the table/view or a custom query. Depending on the type you choose, you can adjust the report structure and content by modifying, reordering bands, or extending the report with additional bands in which you can insert data, such as images, text, report controls, charts, tables, views, queries, etc. To make the report data-aware, bound it to the data source and proceed with the report management. You can save the report via the command-line interface for future use. Additionally, feel free to watch this video to see how to create a data report.
