A View To The Data 4
Background Information
A View To The Data 5
• Converted to Banner 2005 – 2007
• Early adopter of Argos
• Many reports in production
• Heavily using the scheduler
Why Views?
• SQL challenged (me, not everyone)
• First moved to Banner – not familiar with SQL or the Banner tables – also new to Argos (we used Argos on PLUS to become familiar with it) – Concerned that we would be
reporting incorrect information and not know
• Joins already done – SunGardHE supplies many views where much information is available (student, employee, constituent)

PROCESS
• Create Argos report that defines the output
• Use generated SQL from Argos to create the view
