Reports +can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. They may be run, viewed, and printed +from the application or exported as HTML, XML, PDF, LaTeX2e, DocBook, or tab- or +comma-delimited text files. The output files produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can +in turn be used to produce PDF, text, HTML, PostScript, and more. + +DataVision is written in Java and runs almost anywhere. It can generate reports +from databases or text data files. Any database with an available JDBC driver +should work: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Informix, hsqldb, Microsoft Access, +Progress, and more. Columns read from text files can be separated by any +character. + +Report descriptions are stored as XML files. This means you can not only use the +DataVision GUI but you may also edit reports using your favorite text editor. + +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
