Question { Wipro, 10775 }

what is meant by roll up and roll back in dataware housing????


Answer

Roll Up: A method used to summarize measure values up the category tree structure.

Roll Back: I think this method is available only in oracle. roll back retrieve all records after delete the records from table.
for example if the emp table contain 100 records. delete these 100 records using delete command like *delete from emp* we can also retrieve all these 100 records using roll back method.

what is a bookmark? what concept we use in bookmarking?
please tell me how to create bookmarks(with explore)?


Answer

Hi,

Bookmark can be used to quickly move from one part
report to another part of report.

if u have morethan one page in a report, at that point
in time u can use bookmark.

first u create table of contents and create morethan
one page and save unique page name. then drag book mark
icon from tool box to top of the table of contents(table of
contents means like index of the Book) and in the
properties pane give name for book mark. then each page of
bottom drag text item then type text like Go back to book
mark then right click the text and then select drill
through definition then will show the window in that window
select book mark tab then select the name of book mark what
u defined earlier. then run the report.

if u clik a one page then u will get detailed
information then u can get back to the front page using
book mark.
