MICROSOFT DYNAMICS NAV 2009 SERVICE PACK 1

Database Options in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1

Today, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 contains two database stacks: The Classic Client working on either the native NAV database or Microsoft SQL Server database, and the RoleTailored Client with new the user experience working only on the Microsoft SQL Server database. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 will include both stacks as well; however, Microsoft SQL Server is the preferred database for Microsoft Dynamics NAV in all future releases. Therefore, we recommend that existing customers and partners consider this when they are planning an upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 or NAV ?7.

Reporting Enhancements in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1

With Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 we will also focus on making reports even more dynamic. It will be possible to drill through to a report from a report based on a filter. For example, it will be possible to drill through from a pie chart and open a new report filtered on the section clicked in the pie chart. This will give customers even more insight into calculations and how data and information are related and calculations as well as provide a more in-depth reporting experience. Another new reporting capability will be Paging. When reports are executed these will now be sent in chunks to the requesting client. This impacts the memory footprint on the server dramatically, when a large report is executed, as memory consumption will be moved to the client enabling a higher performance of the server system.
