Creating a new table" My own" using existing data???

  • Hi,

    Not sure if I am explaining this correctly..

    But what I want to do is create a "My" table on a reporting server with existing data to do less linking..

    example I call it my_clients conation client name(concat(last,First) sex dob, eye color etc.......

    I then want to run a job nightly to update it..

    If someone can point me in a direction to read about I'd really appreciate it

    Thanks

    Joe

  • *scratches head* This seems like standard ETL and warehouse work. Are you looking to know the keywords to reseach on? I'm not sure what you're looking for here.

  • yes keywords etcc..

    I did write a small view then created a job then creates a table from the view

    Since its a report server I can run the job overnight to update the table?

    Cheezy way of doing it?

    Nah, pretty standard for small datasets, though I personally would probably build it in SSIS simply due to comfort levels.
