Filter and condition are both the same things, when used in context of report creation, but if you mean condition with respect to report layouts, etc that apply to page design, then they do differ. Conditions are checked by creating conditional variables to change the layout of the page and data displayed. Filter's themselves have conditions incorporated in them.
And regarding the filters, the filter conditions alongwith the main query are passed to Oracle by the Cognos Query engine, and only the relevant data is returned.
More of, I term the question as incomplete or inappropriate. |
