Do you know the type of database you are
reporting from? If you do not know, ask the database administrator in your
organization for help in setting up the database type and location of the data.
Are you familiar enough with the data to
find the necessary information? When looking for a Customer Contact name, can
the field be found in a database table?
If not, your MIS professional, database
administrator, or co-workers will have to help you become familiar with the
data.
