Well, it seems to me, that he is looking for some replacement of "oracle reports" ... Which is ... As far as i know ... Something like "MS Access-Report-Wizard" where you can say: Take this table, this field, link it to this field in the second table, show me all records which have date = TODAY and print it as a list in this form" ... It is something like that and is the opposite to "oracle FORMS" which helps up building "input forms" for clients ... I think thats all.
So, if I would be you I would take access for that ... Small, simple, fast in building reports, and easy to handle (- only sad thing about it: it is not working for real programers ... But quite good for "dummy users" ;-)))))) Michael -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Director General: NEFACOMP [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 8.

But, note that most of these are mainly for administration purposes. For example phpMyAdmin is a free PHP based client. Do you know some programming language? Like Visual Basic, C, C++, Java, PHP, ... You said that you are able to run queries, ... How do you run those queries? I suspect you use SHELL>mysql -u UserName -h HostNameOrIP -p Is that right? If it is, then I will tell you that mysql is a client developped by the MySQL team to ease your administration of the database. Unfortunately, they have not implemented a reporting tool in that client. Are you familiar with MS Access? If yes, you can use Access to work with MySQL data. If you have Access installed, just let me know and I will send you Step by Step Instructions.
