Report studio has two SQL tabs one native SQL and another
one cognos SQL which one is get more preference? which one
we need to consider?

Answer Posted / sridhar

It depends upon the requirement of Report as well database .
If report wants to show from the different database cognos
sql is most prefarable because it can fetch
from multiple databases.
also for calculation as well other complicated business
rules Cognos sql its preferred.
also we can hide the underline tables as well database
source.
Advantage of native SQL will be no need of metadata .
We are passing the Query to native to handle it.
In my experince column name was case senstive if it changes
it was throwing error - isnt wiered :-(.
