Exactly. We had paid for support for SQL*Reports at that job but never used it. We either used those sqlplus commands listed in the above URL or a Fortran(don't ask) program. > In any case, how much user demand is there for a reporting tool for > PostgreSQL? Either a seperate tool or better functionality in psql. I'd like to see it in psql myself. > Of course speaking up with patches is far better. I simply don't have the time to throw at it :( However now that I think about it I believe one of the coders in our project (www.gnuenterprise.org) started writing a tool a few years back based upon our db interfaces to provide a cross db sqlplus like CLI. I'll ask him how far he got into it. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
