It is a great substitute to use instead of SQL server management studio for the extraction of information from a database.\nReports utilize the read-only subset of DML in Microsoft T-SQL, which means there is no risk that a user will make a change in the database from writing or running these scripts.\nAnother advantage to running reports is that we can utilize the power of Report Query Arguments. This capability allows us to dynamically choose values to use as query parameters. This is very, very useful, and makes life easier for both the programmer and the end user.\nDetailed information on how to use and create reports can be found in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration Guide, under Chapter 3 (Vaults). The example we will discuss can be found in the PDM installation directory; C:Program FilesSOLIDWORKS PDMReport Examples 1.crp\nThe following image shows a basic structure of a query.
