Обсуждение: Postgres Tool Question
Are there any tools for generating reports for Postgres? I searched
RedHat, Enterprise Linux, the HOWTO, and haven't found anything.

I know I can use perl. I already do, but sometimes you want your reports to look a little cleaner than just plain old text. I know I could probably throw in some LaTeX or Groff, but I kinda wanted something a bit more user-friendly, I would also like something to develop complex reports. As far as that little MS Access comment goes. It took me a long time to find a job where I just use Linux, I don't want to regress to Windows. :) Sam "Brett W.

I think the latest version of Applix has ODBC drivers for PostgreSQL. I'm
sure you could generate some nice looking reports out of that.

Yes, Perl has PDF module, available from CPAN.

a2ps is a great program for making plain old text look decent. I think it will also accept latex or postscript, which you could embed with Perl. Search "a2ps" on freshmeat.net. --- "Samuel A.
