| Name | Db Latex Report |
| Description | A Java (only based on Java Foundation Classes, no third party
library required but native Jdbc drivers if you don't use
Jdbc-Odbc bridge) Cross-platform tool to report database
connections (SCHEMA-centric) in latex format.
This tool enables you to produce a LaTeX (standard, no
specific extension required) report for database objects
(tables, views, indexes, functions, primary and foreign keys,
columns, types, db keywords, system functions) thanks to the
JDBC Api. You can report odbc connections or pure Jdbc drivers
connections.
For some report sections, a chart is also available to make
the report nicer to read, when the driver implements required
functions (imported keys).
The latex is built on the Jdbc API and then assumes that the
driver's implementation does respect it. Thus the limitations
are due to drivers implementation.
A single readonly connection is required to make the report, in
fact this software always tries to put the connection to ReadOnly
mode (is the database and the driver does allow it).
Take a look (in the download section) to output samples to
have a better idea of what kind of output you get.
Queries can also be performed on the database you want to
report. You are then able to get Query Metadatas, class
mapping. Binary fields are also retrieved and dumped
into local file. Query reports is generated in Plain Text
and html. The reports are dumped in the local system, for
now on the user's Temp directory, hence they can be
easily shared, on any platform. The embedded query tool
supports (if the driver does of course) multiple output
ResultSets (DB2, SQL Server), feature that is not often
supported on this kind of tool. Anyway, the main goal of this tool
is to report Metadatas. |
