hi experts,I track the size of my 2005 database (monthly) and store the size info in a database table.I would like to be able to make a line graph to represent the growth trends.Can this be done by an SSIS package? Does anyone know of a free tool that can create a chart or graph from a SQL Server table?Thanks  John |

| How about Excel?Or if you insist on Free, try the spreadsheet application in Open Office.________________________________________________If it is not practically useful, then it is practically useless.________________________________________________ |

| Thanks blindman. I'm struggling with making a chart from Excel on my desktop, using an ODBC data source to retrieve the table rows. That is working, just trying to assign the correct field names to the axis, etc. I'm using the trial-and-error approach because I've never really worked with Excel's charting feature.John |

| I would ask some questions on an Excel/Office forum somewhere, or refer to Excel's help files.And, remember: experiment with small, simple sets of data, just typed in by hand, in Excel to learn about the graphs and charts. Then, once you get the basics and you are feeling good, consider trying things like working with larger sets of data.- Jeffhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/JeffS |
