Appendix C: Custom Report Views
Data Protection Manager 2007 includes several SQL views to help you create custom reports.
SQL views simplify your queries by populating columns with data collected from multiple tables in
the database. These views offer several advantages over querying the tables directly:
• You do not need in-depth knowledge of the entire database or the relationship between
tables and keys.
• If the database structure changes in future versions of the product, the views can be updated
so that they behave the same.
For DPM installations that use a separate, dedicated computer for the SQL Server database, the
views are queried on the database computer, not the computer running DPM. This results in less
competition for resources when large numbers of views are queried over a short period of time.
The potential disadvantages of the SQL views include the following:
• Because the view runs each time it is queried, server performance may be degraded if the
view is used too frequently.
• The available supported views might not include all of the columns you need.
This appendix lists the views available in DPM 2007.
