I want to design an excel based reporting package. &nbsp;My plan is hold the data in a Sql server cube and then bring this into excel via a pivot table.<br />
<br />
I will then update the pivot using VBA according to what the user selects and retreive the data.<br />
<br />
My question is this - how much data is held in Excel/Memory - is it the total cube or just what ever is selected in the pivot table? &nbsp;The data in SQL will be around 100,000 records hence I don't want all of this to be loaded into memory as it will slow down the report. &nbsp;I will also have several pivot tables based on the same data in order to drive different reports.

SQL Server cube to Excel - memory/performance question.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
