The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: DBIx::Xtab
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: creates server-side multi-level DB crosstabs
userid: GMAX (Giuseppe Maxia)
chapterid: 7 (Database_Interfaces)
communities:
similar:
Data::Pivot does one level only - none does server-side and
multi-level xtab
rationale:
DBIx::Xtab creates server-side multi-level cross tabulation
reports. Given some parameters, it creates the appropriate query to
get the crosstab, fetches the records and returns the output in raw
format, HTML or XML. Unlike spreadsheet pivot tables, all the
calculation is done on the server side, and in addition the query is
not limited to one table only. I am writing the documentation and
creating the installation tests In the meantime, you can see the
code, some docs and a few colorful examples at this link:
http://gmax.oltrelinux.com/xtab/xtab.html Any comments would be
welcome.
I am not sure about the DBIx:: namespace. The rationale behind my
choice is that the module is - potentially - database independent,
so it can really be a DBI extension.
My second choice would be DBSchema::Xtab. (I used DBSchema:: on Tim
Bunce's advice for my DBSchema::Normalizer).
Please advise. Thanks
