My question may be a bit off topic... I am using Xindice as a database. I am going to need to do reports. Reports in a relational world are customized around the relationships between tables. Using XML without fixed relationships between the data in the documents makes creating reports, shall we say, difficult. Not having fixed relationships is my whole reason for XML in the first place, so it is a feature, not a bug :-). However, I still need to create reports. I thought of XSLT, but I need to view them on the screen and print them. Oh, and my application is a Java Application, not browser based. I could generate HTML and display it in an HTML Editor window, but how would I print it?
Bottom line and my question for the group is how will we print reports using data stored in dbXML? thanks, Mark Alexander Schatten wrote: > very good, thank you.
