Re: [sqlite] Sqlite3Explorer Sqlite Report Designer
'Tis a bit late of a response, but worth saying. Reports of Delphi's demise have been bandied about for well over a decade. Although it has dropped in market share during that time, it still is a viable and used language. Our firm uses it in one of our key projects because (quite frankly) nothing else will give us the productivity coupled with the performance we need. John Elrick Fenestra Technologies Timothy A.

*Dear Cariotoglou Mike* I was actually waiting for your reply. Ok, No problem. I can understand the work loads. But keep in mind that your utility will be useful to many of the sqlite-users. If you get time ( after two-three months ) please develop it in such a way that I have discribed in previous mail. Myself and someone watching our conversation will be waiting for that.

Re: [sqlite] Sqlite3Explorer Sqlite Report Designer
here is an idea : I might be able to modify the dll to accept datasets in a different, "standard" format, like XML. this would imply that your product would need to retrieve data in whatever format it needs, transform it to my format, pass it to the dll which will do the design and reporting. it will not as fast as it is now, but it is definately a solution. you would not have the source of the dll, but you could use it freely, no IR issues. for this to work , the following assumptions must prove correct: 1. I originally designed the DLL with portability in mind, so it *coul* be transformed as I described. since that time, otuehr developers have improved it. I need to check that they have not introduced dependencies and design decisions that would nullify its portability. 2. that you (or somebody else) actually would benefit from this approach. f.e do you *like* the report designer (as seen and used from sqlite3Explorer), or is it just something you came across and thought to give a try? I only point this out, because it will take me at least 10-20 hours to do this conversion, and it would be a big waste of time (mine) to do this just as an intellectual exercise. I am not asking for financial compensation here, just to know that I am actually doing something useful... PS another format that would work, besides XML, and that I already have a lot of code to support would be the ADO recordset. is this an option for you ? what language are you planning to use in order to host the DLL, and what database ?

Re: [sqlite] Sqlite3Explorer Sqlite Report Designer
Hi Merv Thanks for your sharing If you can share it through this dissussion forum then that will be counted as a great work from you. Because those who are using Sqlite with windows and visualstudio 6 will face the problem of reporting. They have to depend up on Crystall Reports or some other tools which will require ODBC/ ADO. I have tested OOFile but was not worth enough. So please share what you have with all of us. I am tired of searching such a thing.

Re: [sqlite] Sqlite3Explorer Sqlite Report Designer
I have a program for Windows that may help you. It is not open-source but it is free to use and distribute. It has a simple report function that I am willing to modify based on input from users. We can continue to communicate this way or you can contact me directly at the above address or call 705-646-1076. Have a super one!

Re: [sqlite] Sqlite3Explorer Sqlite Report Designer
Thank You.. Java report builders are available on sourceforge.net and i have gone through it long before. What I am looking is the one which any one can use with VisualStudio 6 or ealier products. It should be handy. Not a complecated one. Simple like "just design and port the report file and then just view and print".

If you want something that is Windows based like you describe, why not use Java to build a Swing GUI? Delphi and Pascal are a little antiquated so if you need to revise you may have a problem finding a resource. Also consider the platform independence if that is a concern Timothy A.

Re: [sqlite] Sqlite3Explorer Sqlite Report Designer
I am the author of sqlite3Explorer. Sorry I did not answer you previous post, reason is I did not motice it... :( I don't think what you want is feasible. the reason is this: the Dll expects a "dataset" which sqlite3Explorer builds internally, and the report engine takes it from there (Design, run, export etc). the dll itself does not contain data retrieval code, and relies on the host for this. this is ok, but the catch is here: the dataset format that the dll understands is a proprietary format developed by and only used by the company I work for. the dll engine is one the prime design/execute engines for our commercial projects. thus I cannot open-source it. and, since the dataset format in question cannot be produced without having access to the proprietary libraries we use here, what you want cannot be done. sorry... > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rajesh Nair > Sent: Friday, November 14, 2008 2:12 PM > To: General Discussion of SQLite Database > Subject: [sqlite] Sqlite3Explorer Sqlite Report Designer > > Hi all > > How can I use the mkFrxEngine.DLL supplied along with the > Sqlite3Explorer. > The dll is a report designer and viewer.
