In researching for B.I tools to be used at work, that could suite our needs I quickly found out a miss conception….there isn’t a plug and play reporting tool. SQL Reporting services, Endeca analytics, cognus ….all require a lot of work to setup.<\/p>\n

Now lets say i want to create a small and very simple reporting tool with drill downs. What would i have to know to get the base up.<\/p>\n

Base list<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. List of all tables<\/li>\n
  2. All relationships between table<\/li>\n
  3. If relationships could be marked as graph it would be useful to know top level parents…and the Nth level children.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
