Use two date parameters in a stored procedure for a report listing directors

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file . Once you've done this:

Go into SQL Server Management Studio;
Open the SQL file you've just unzipped (you can press CTRL + O to do this); then
Execute this script.

This will generate the database that you'll need to use in order to do this exercise (note that the database and script are only to be used for exercises published on this website, and may not be reused or distributed in any form without the prior written permission of Wise Owl).

The aim of this exercise is to create the following report:

The report should show all of the directors born between two given dates.

First create a stored procedure called spDirectorsCut to show all of the directors born between two parameters (@MinDob and @MaxDob, say).

Create a report called Directors Cut (with apologies to Vicki for the lack of apostrophe) based on this stored procedure. For the title, you'll need to use an expression similar to:

="Directors born between " &
format(Parameters!MinDob.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy") & " and " &
format(Parameters!MaxDob.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")

What happens if you enter two dates which return no directors? Customise the NoRows properties of the table to allow for this:
