BO is a stand alone(thick client) BI tool whereas cognos
is web based tool(thin client), ODBC connections are to be
established for BO where as Cognos accesses the servers via
web. As a result of this BO occupies more space when
compared to Cognos but BO reports are faster(in getting the
results) when compared to Cognos.

Cognos- one list can be associated to only one query where
as in BO a single list can have qury items from multiple
data provider,

these are some of the difference's that i could remember

I have created a database "TestingDB" in MS SQL Server 2005. I have set the port properties and the Cognos Service is up. But I don't see anything in the Cognos. In the administration i have set the ODBC connection and it tested successfully.If i copy the samples to the appropriate directory then i can see the samples.But I don't know how to do the same thing with my own database "TestingDB".
