Web Query Tool As can be seen from the diagram, the LDB system can be divided into three main components of input, core components and output. The purpose of output components is to report on the data that is stored in the system. Your database administrator must have granted a read and write access to the database through a username and password. The data can be reported on using Canned Reports, ProClarity, Pivot Tables and the Web Query Tool. The Custom Management Tool can also be used for viewing data that is input in the system. However, this tool is primarily used for manipulating data that is in the system and not as a reporting tool. Data obtained from the database can also be published to CD-ROM or printed on hard copies.
