What is meant by Adhoc reports?Can any body will explain
with examples...Thanks in Advance .........prakash

Answer Posted / deanna tobey

An ad hoc report is a report that is created at request or
on-demand displaying information in a table or a chart that
is created to answer a question that has not already been
codified in a production report. Since there is a limit to
the number of standardized production reports and business
questions that can be anticipated, data source users may
find the need to create a quick report or chart to answer a
business question. If the query or question arises often
the ad hoc report should be analyzed and a standardize
production report should be designed and implemented.
