SQLDocument

SQLDocument is a content type which allows you to add/edit/display and display SQL - Querys.

Project Description

SQLDocument is a ContentType which allows you to add/edit/view
SQLStatements in Plone.

It is based on the Zope Database Adapter.

You have the ability to make sub references to other SQLDocuments.
(Person --> Address). You can configure the view of your results.

• how many results per page
• orphan
• which row should be displayed
• label of the rows
• etc

The greatest difference between the "old zope zsql way" to SQLDocument
is you do not need ZSQL-Methods and their "<dmtl-sql**>" statements.

Doing

Just simply type your sqlstatement in the SQL field.

   select * from employees

If you need vars in your sqlstatement you can do it with this syntax
(http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html)

        select * from employees where name = '%(NAME)s'

This will create a autogenerated input form with NAME as a text field for you.

If you want to export your results you have to install for:

        pdf --> reportlab  http://www.reportlab.org
        xls --> pyXLWriter http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxlwriter/

Features:

• easy to use
  
• auto generated input forms
• easy configuration of your linstings
• horizontal and vertical listing
• sort - navigation based on plone-batch
• subreferences to other sqldocuments
• export as pdf and xls (based on reportlab, pyXLWriter)
