In dbForge Studio for SQL Server, a report is made up of bands (blocks) that each represent a different type of control, such as text, image, check box, label, table, chart, pivot table, and so on. The Report Builder allows you to automatically produce a report depending on the kind and options that best suit your needs. You can create a simple data report from scratch, a data-aware report based on existing database objects or data obtained from a SQL query, and a master-detail report to present data from a hierarchical data source using a SQL data reporting tool.
This SQL Manager allows users to generate a new report from scratch, from a table/view, or from a custom query. You can change the report structure and content by updating, reordering, or extending the report with extra bands in which you can include data such as photos, text, report controls, charts, tables, views, queries, and so on, depending on the type you pick. Bind the report to the data source to make it data-aware, then continue with the report administration. You can also store the report for later use using the command-line interface.
