Question like that: how does compare reportlivre with lazreport and reportman?
(I would like so much to see reportman integrated to laz, it is very
complete. I never tried others. But I don't know if it is possible
with reportman to do simple report like QuickReport where you can plug
the data live by source code with no dataset.)

If I understand you last statement correctly: Can you create reports
in ReportMan without using datasets? Yes you can. I created a lot
of complicated reports directly from my Business Objects, without
using any datasets (I integrate my apps to a database using the tiOPF
framework).
Great, this is answering my question.
Unfortunately I want to use PostgreSQL database but I'm finding very
few tools for that. tiOPF, if I understand right the doc, does not
support PostgreSQL natively. TPQConnection is not supporting client
side format (LATIN1, etc.) and Zeos I did not test, but heard that it
is generalist and does not support specific psql stuff to
change/modify/create table/schema/indexes/etc. I have a lot of R&D to
do on that.
I would like to start a huge project with laz, but the core features I
require are not mature or hard to integrate (this is my perception,
could be different for others.) I tested a simple dbGrid with
tpqconnection and it crashed when playing with the scrollbars (I've
submitted bug report). But it does not give you confidence to develop
a core system that needs to be bullet proof when a simple test with a
simple component fails. I'm confident for the future, but for now, it
is hard to convince my boss.
Ideally I would like to use very stable tools for very important core
systems with:
Object Pascal (Lazarus), Pascal Script, Report Manager, PostgreSQL
(Zeos? TPQConnection?), a good TCP/IP/POP3/SMTP component (indy?).
I want it also! Except Firebird in place of PostgreSQl (which is fine
but I don't know it) and maybe Synapse is more stable then indy under
Lazarus. I would say that Synapse and pascal Script is quite stable
under Lazarus.For Firebird I would use UIB 2 (due to thread safe code
and more complete support of parameters (is TDateTime parameter working
now?) . Sqldb is fine but not visual DB controls.I suspect that if you
would test it without DB controls it behaves much better.
Welll, I had to say all that to someone! ;) -- I should have stard a
new thread :)
Regards and thanks for the note on ReportMan.
