Hi, I need to build a corporate site which displays various numbers, statistics and metrics for decision makers. Basically a decision support system or even the kind of stuff crystal reports is used for.
Typically, we have built 'reports' that display specific data. Each report is made up of one or more sql queries and an html page (put together by some sort of application server. I'd like create a few simple data presentation templates, but drive them using sql which, itself, sits in the database. This way, I can just use Django's admin interface, insert an sql query. As soon as I hit the save button, the report will show up. Please note that something like databrowse doesn't help my very much (afaik) since my queries may be fairly complex, rather than simple listings of my database tables. I wrote such a framework a long time ago with an older version of django. I could parametrize my sql queries (with parameters passed in through urls), automatically generate menus, etc. The idea is that once I have a quick framework up, adding reports should be trivial enough that I (or someone else with enough permission) can add reports within give minutes. As our needs expand, we can expand presentation templates (which may take half a day to much longer) with charts, fancy sorting, pivoting, filtering, aggregating tables...whatever. Other than custom building this again, is there anything new in django which might help me with this project?
