Summary
Sage Estimating SQL version does not have a data dictionary like Sage Estimating Pervasive version. Instead, there are Crystal report tables inside Sage SQL Estimating that can be seen in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
These fields in SSMS can be used to create custom Crystal Reports.
Note: Sage Support is not able to help creating the custom Crystal Reports. Your Business or Channel Partner can help provide a consultant or Sage Support can get you in touch with Professional Services.
