Re: [GENERAL] Printable report generation
Heck as far as that goes you can use access thru odbc and pull up your tables and use accesses report generation.

db=# \h copy
Command: COPY
Description: Copies data between files and tables
Syntax:
COPY [ BINARY ] table [ WITH OIDS ]
FROM { 'filename' | stdin }
[ [USING] DELIMITERS 'delimiter' ]
[ WITH NULL AS 'null string' ]
COPY [ BINARY ] table [ WITH OIDS ]
TO { 'filename' | stdout }
[ [USING] DELIMITERS 'delimiter' ]
[ WITH NULL AS 'null string' ]
db=# copy someTable to '/path/to/file.tsv';
now read tab-separated file "file.tsv" into the program of your
choice.
or use "practical extraction and reporting language" to generate
your reports (perl!)...

I would like to put a button on a JSP that will save the result of a query to local disk as a tab delimited file. That will permit me to open it in AppleWorks for mailing label printing.
