Hi, Owoeye, Thanks for your questions, that I hope I can clarify. The current reporting subsystem must be integrated with the MifOS application. The BIRT-based reports are designed to access the database by way of scripted data sets -- data is retrieved by invoking one or more Java methods defined on MifOS Java classes. These classes in turn access database tables using Hibernate.
This approach works well for operational reports such as the collection sheet report, and forms such as receipts. For after-the-fact reporting and analysis, the approach is less satisfactory as each report typically requires implementing some Java code. You can build reports to access database tables directly with SQL, bypassing Mifos Java code. However, Mifos's tables are designed for transactional work, not reporting, so it is harder to report on data that they hold. In future releases, we plan to implement a data warehouse for reporting. Please post here more details on what kind of reports you need -- perhaps someone can help you right away with your problem, and it will help us to design the data warehouse to better meet customers' reporting needs.
