What is the Difference b/w Server based Ranking and normal Ranking?..

Answer / prathish thomas

Normal Ranking (Reporting-> Ranking)is at the report level , where Web Intelligence allows you to return unranked data from a database, then rank it in Web Intelligence

Server/DB database ranking appears after the Query Filters icon of the Query Panel)allows you to specify a ranking at the query and database level so that the data returned to Web Intelligence by the query is already ranked.
Database ranking has the following advantages:
Ranking data can be processing-intensive. By ranking at the database level you allow the server, which is typically far more powerful than the client machine, to perform this processing.
Pre-ranking data reduces the amount of data retrieved across the network and stored in Web Intelligence

I need to select the rows based on the latest 'Payment_due_date' column value. Let's say I have a Deski report with 3 columns: Payment_due_date, Cust_Name, Oustanding_Amt. Report is like this: ===================================== Payment_due_date,Cust_Name,Oustanding_Amt 02/28/11 , Bob, 115 03/31/11 , Bob, 90 02/28/11 , Mike, 120 02/28/11 , Susan, 220 05/31/11 , Bob, 80, 03/31/11 , Susan, 70 05/31/11 , Mike, 220 05/31/11 , Susan, 120 04/30/11 , Susan, 130 So,we would like to see (based on latest Payment_due_date) ================== 05/31/11 , Bob, 80, 05/31/11 , Mike, 220 05/31/11 , Susan, 120 Oustanding_Amt comes as SUM(Oustanding_Amt) from Universe. If we use Max(Payment_due_date),we do get one row but then, the column 'Oustanding_Amt' sums up. Not allowed to use do SQL Override .Context Operators aren't working. Thanks in advance:)
