Re: reports? from MySQL
If you're accessing via Windows, you can use MyODBC and a reporting package such as Crystal Reports or Quick Reports or just about any ODBC-compliant reporting package. You should also be able to link MS Access to your MySQL database... For simple reports where you just want to print some data, you can use a tool like urSQL (http://www.urbanresearch.com/ursql) and MyODBC to build your query and then export the results. Results can be exported to HTML, Text, Excel, etc... - Original Message - i'd like to ask... if any of you are familar with (File Maker Pro, most recent versions)... how does one go about using MySQL to create a printable report? e.g., where you select the fields you wanted in the report and then create a layout and page setup for the report, (then print it)? - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: Best way to generate laser-printed reports from mysql
I am wondering how most users generate reports from mysql that they can print on a laser printer (e.g. invoices)? HTML is fine if the report is only 1 page long. I guess some people user something like Crystal Reports via ODBC, but I wonder what most people do??? I use StarOffice.

Depends on (a) how professional you need the reports to be, and (b) how much you can afford.. But more seriously, you *could* create a layout for "tbl" (part of GNU "groff", available for all POSIX platforms and even NT via the cygwin port), and generate output using that template: .TS H page-header specs .TH other header specs. header lines body lines-- generate this using MySQL .TE And then run all this through "tbl" followed by "groff". Haven't tried this myself in this particular combination, but having used tbl in the past, I don't see any major conceptual problems with it. It's free, but needs some elbow grease to get it to work.. A "tbl" reference is at http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/troffcvt/tbl.html. -- Shankar Unni [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I started looking to see if there is any Perl modules/Bundles/Packages for generating postscript reports. What I have found is fairly primative.
