Anyone else used it?

Our company has one IT guy who's a contractor and everything bottlenecks with him (not his fault )

Boss wants me to learn how to generate reports from the SQL database our online system works off.

I'm only one page into it but as an IT tard I can vouch for its simplicity and ease of use.

Interested in other's experiences good and bad.

Cheers

It isn't bad. Google and stackoverflow are your friends. What kind of SQL DB are you dealing with?

I don't know hahaha I literally just started and the boss said not to talk shop with the IT contractor till I can carry a basic technical conversation with him or he might shut down the idea cause its his systems our database.

What we give him as part of our specs is mainly excel based. Not sure what happens from there but Ill work it out soon enough.

Do you guys at least know the queries that are being run to retrieve and store data?

Is that like search parameters?

Haha, it'll be a command or API call that you send.

Figure out which SQL DB type you are using and install it locally. Add something to the DB, then retrieve it. Then look into tables. Do this all locally with dummy data, then figure out how he laid out the company data in the production DB and do a mini-mockup of that locally. You'll be well on your way!
