- 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 What's In A Name, add a data source which connects to the Movies database and a dataset which selects these fields:
Use the Actor, Film and Role tables to select these fields.
Create a Text parameter as shown below:
Make sure you enable the Allow blank value option.
Add a filter to the dataset so that it returns roles which contain the text entered into the parameter.
The Value expression should look like this: ="*" & Parameters!RoleName.Value & "*"
Repeat these steps to create two more parameters which will filter on the actor and film names.
Add a table to the report and check that the filters work:
Try different combinations of names.
Save and close the report.
