Assume that a company has your system for, say, 5 years. Does the Ad-Hoc reporting tool work this far back to get code information, project information across all of the past years?

A. Yes. NetConsole/Timesheet is built upon an open database environment, which means all data is stored in database tables in the backend database (i.e. SQL 7 or Oracle 8). You can backup, restore and manipulate the data as you normally would for your database administration tasks. If you archive your TS database every year, then after 5 years, you will need to aggregate all 5 databases together before you run 5-year billing reports since the reporting programs are querying against one single TS table.
