- 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 Certificate Films, add a data source which connects to the Movies database and a dataset which includes these fields:

You can select these fields from the Film table.
Add an integer parameter called CertificateID and use it to apply a filter to the dataset:

Here's one way to apply the filter to the dataset.
Add a table to the report which displays the other three fields:

Drag the page border to remove white space.
Save and close this report then create a new one called Certificates which includes a dataset with these fields:

Select these fields from the Certificate table.
Add a table which displays the list of certificates and includes a blank row below each one:

Here's what the table could look like in design view.
Insert a subreport into the table and assign the Certificate Films report to it:

The name of the report should appear in the cell.
Configure the subreport so that you pass a value of the CertificateID field to the report's CertificateID parameter:

You can do this on the Subreport Properties dialog box.
Run the report to check that it works:

We've sorted the films in ascending order of Title.
Save and close the report.
