MSTR Report Pre and Post Statements

Report Post Statement

The Report Post Statement settings insert custom SQL statements after the final SELECT statement but before the DROP statements. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Report Post Statement 1 through Report Post Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Report Post Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately. The custom SQL is applied to every intermediate table or view.
