Learn how to understand and troubleshoot SQL in IBM Cognos Analytics. In this session, we walk through where to find generated SQL across Framework Manager, Data Modules, Dashboards, and Reports, and explain the difference between Cognos SQL and Native SQL. You'll also learn how to use JDBC tracing for deeper troubleshooting and how to analyze SQL behavior in real reporting scenarios. We'll cover common performance and modeling issues, including split SQL, join optimization, summaries, multi-fact queries, non-conformed dimensions, double counting, and column dependencies. This tutorial is designed to help Cognos users, report authors, modelers, and administrators better understand how SQL is generated and how to diagnose issues that may impact report accuracy or performance. Whether you're troubleshooting slow reports, reviewing generated SQL, or trying to improve your Cognos model design, this video gives you practical tips you can apply right away.
Topics covered:
• Understanding Cognos SQL vs Native SQL
• Finding SQL in reports, dashboards, data modules, and Framework Manager
• Using JDBC traces for troubleshooting
• Identifying split SQL and performance impacts
• Optimizing joins
• Understanding summaries and subqueries
• Troubleshooting multi-fact queries
