Title: Relational Data Source
Post by: rosarial71 on 19 Nov 2009 10:35:16 AM
Hi,

I'm new, and I'm trying to undestand how cognos 8 works on a relational data source. Can queries be built and executed directly on the relational data source, or the tool always need the cube for producing the reports?

Sorry for my english, and thanks in advance fon your attention and replies.

Report Studio supports both relational (i.e. SQL based) and dimensional (i.e. "MDX" based) reporting.
