<p>A method of retrieving and viewing data from a database includes the steps of receiving an input search strategy from a user and querying the database to determine the amount of data which will be returned by the search strategy. If the amount of data will exceeds the capacity of the software used for viewing said data. Then an external data file containing the viewable data is created. The external data file may be a cube file. The instant invention may comprise spreadsheet objects (36), as well as manipulation of datasets (10), tables (12), fields (14), pivot tables (16), and sql objects (18), resulting in a report (20).</p> |
