Query builder / database navigator

2006-07-13 15:31

Hello !

 

I use iReport for more one year, now. I have to congratulate all people of the iReport / JasperReports community for their projects.

 

Because people who can use iReport aren't necessarily developers they need a visual query editor. Indeed, they can be person who don't know Sql, java, or hibernate...

 

I have seen on iReport roadmap a line for a "Query builder / database navigator". I would like to know if somebody work on it...

 

I think we can find many implementation of this concept. But, we have to keep in our mind that we must present data with a view very near of the end user understanding.

 

So we must reorganize data to help end users to explore them and select what they need in order to build their document. Moreover, when a query or a view is built, it can be shared with other users...

 

Perhaps we can discuss on this functionalities here to determine how implement them on iReport.

 

Thanks for all...
