what is the different between primarykey and surrogated
key.. why we are going for surrogatekey...

Answer Posted / g.v

Primary key as all of u know this is a unique key,surrogate
key is a non -intelligent key which is used to replace a
composite key


we are going for surrogate key bcz suppose a person is
living in one city and then moved to other and the person
id is a primarykey.we need to update the location then we
need to add the updated record but the primary key wont
accept to add the record again for this purpose we will go
for surrogate key

Hi, I have Cognos 7.0 Impromptu reports and these reports have been created with the Mainframe datasource. Now the business needs these reports should be upgraded but with Oracle datasource. So what's the idea, first we should migrate these reports into ReportNet? then in that case what we will do with the Impromptu Catalog? Second, suppose we need to migrate these reports into Cognos 8 (may be 8.4) then how we will do that? do we need to create a FM Model for these reports. Please advice!
