What does compiling really do in a Report Builder report?

edited Jul 21, 2009 1:22AM in Oracle Reports (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered
 We are constantly developing reports for Oracle Applications.  We have 2 databases, production and clone.  What we normally do is develop the report using Report Builder while logged at clone  database, compile, save then copy the .RDF into the proper folder of Linux server for clone.  Once the report is fully tested, we open it again in Report Builder logged at production database, compile, save then copy the .RDF into the proper folder of Linux server for production.

Here are my questions:

1. Does compiling alter or do anything in the .RDF file?  As far as my understanding, it will only check for the proper syntax, parameters and anything that may cause some runtime error upon running.

Howdy, Stranger!
