Depeneds on type of report.

For Power BI reports, there is information only on connection level (for each connection used in report is there type of source, server and so on). But not on table or query level (this information is inside blob of pbix file in enhanced metadata format, and is not directly accessible in ReportServer database via SQL query)

Hi @omnia_saleh ,

 

I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you please rephrase or provide more context? Are you saying that you have information that reports are being generated from a Teradata database, but you don't have access to the tables in that database?

Hi  @omnia_saleh ,

 

Yes, the metadata for each report in Power BI Report Server is stored in the ReportServer database in SSMS. The ReportServer database contains tables that store information about reports, data sources, schedules, subscriptions, and other objects.

For more details,You may refer to Solved: How Report server store and run the Power BI repor... - Microsoft Fabric Community

 

As for the second question,hope these threads help.

ReportServer database contains tables that store information about reports, data sources, schedules, subscriptions, and other objects. Each report comes from tables within specific databases. Are these tables stored in a ReportServer  database?
