Обсуждение: PostgreSQL / Reporting tool
Howdy:
I'm running PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on RedHat Linux 7.2 rev 10.
Curious to find out if anyone is using a (any) tool
to connect to the database and generate detailed level
reports.
For example, a minor part of the department is still
using MS Access a la ODBC to do some reporting. A few
others are thinking about getting rid of any Microsoft
related product (yea!) but still need to find another
solution. One possible solution is using Crystal Report
Writer (www.seagate.com).
Although I try to use Perl to do some not-too-complicated
reporting, having to learn a new language is something that
the department is not in favor of.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Crystal can be a real PITA although I think it's got the lion's share of reporting on PCs. > Although I try to use Perl to do some not-too-complicated > reporting, having to learn a new language is something that > the department is not in favor of. There are various XML and similar projects out there that will produce a report as postscript/pdf - AFAIK none of them offer the graphical template building that Crystal/MS-Access do. - Richard Huxton

Look at "http://datavision.sourceforge.net/". I have installed it and played with it a bit but then had to move on to other projects before I could plumb its depths. I was fairly impressed with it.
