Hi,

how would I create a spreadsheet from a table in a database?

I know I can copy and paste, and I want to avoid that. Basically, users should be able to click an icon in LO (or on their desktop) and be presented with a spreadsheet which displays an export from a table I have in a mysql database. Fields in the spreadsheet must be in a different order than in the database and be formatted to a pre-defined width.

In a future step, I would like to integrate graphics into the spreadsheet which could be created by a perl script with gnuplot from data in the database; the images could reside in a directory and rows in the database would have a field referring to the file name of the image.

Is there any functionality in LO to achieve something like this, or is the database part as incompatible to other parts of LO, like spreadsheets, as it seems to be?
