------Diff B/W DrillThrough and master and Detailed Report?..

Answer / sharath

In drill thruogh reporting we aceess a report from another
report using a column,url etc.In this type of reporting
atleast we need to have two reports and we must have a
common column in these reports.

ex:we have two reports emp(eno,ename,dno),dept
(dno,dname,loc).

from emp report if at all we want know the dept information
of a particular emp, by just clicking the dno in emp table
we can go to dept report .


In master detailed reporting,unlike drill through we have
only one report in this.

but we can have different reports to display the same
information in the same page.
ex:we can have cross-tab and chart in the same report.



plz tell me if it helps you.
