Just a general question about any recommendations for a third party tool that would allow setting up a data-dictionary against SQL Server tables and a user could go in and build their own queries, reports. Perhaps they could save their query/report definitions for reuse. Other nice to haves - ability to output to PDF and export to XLS. Would prefer web interface, but can consider desktop as well. Any immediate recommendations?
Thanks.Allowing users direct access to tables is exactly the sort of thing good DBAs AVOID doing.|||Now, Now...

Cognos is a good product, and has been around for a while. You might also look into DI Diver: http://www.dimensionalinsight.com/|||Blindman - sorry if you were snubbed.
And great thanks for suggesting another potential tool.
Obviously I have a lot to learn - and you and other experts on this board have been key in me understanding. I'm indebted to you and others and am sending cases of vitual beer and wild women your way.|||I would recommend stylereport http://www.inetsoft.com. Definitely the best reporting tool around.
