- Go into SQL Server Management Studio;
- Open the SQL file you've just unzipped (you can press CTRL + O to do this); then
- Execute this script.
This will generate the database that you'll need to use in order to do this exercise (note that the database and script are only to be used for exercises published on this website, and may not be reused or distributed in any form without the prior written permission of Wise Owl).
You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Create a report called Gender stereotyping, then within this manually create a parameter which has three possible values for gender:
When you run the report initially, you should see a dropdown of 3 possible values, with the first being the default. You can specify the default values - you shouldn't need to create a separate dataset for them.
Now create a stored procedure which lists out all of the actors for any given value of the gender parameter (make sure you choose the same parameter name in your stored procedure as you used when creating the parameter, otherwise SSRS will create a new parameter alongside the existing one).
Get your report to show all of the actors for the gender chosen, colouring the report pink if you choose Female or blue if you choose Male. For example:
|
|
| If you're not bothered. | If you choose Female. |
Close this report down!
