in reply to Generating reports from Databases

I highly recommend the various Database Programming nodes listed on gmax' homenode.

You might also benefit from taking a look at some of the features (including documenting databases) offered by the SQL Fairy (additional site).

The Database Stuff on my scratchpad might also contain some useful information or tools, including:

Good luck!

    hello again thank you for your comments. I have an additional question. I discovered this module to output the result of my sql query, DBIx-XHTML_Table. due to the fact that I want this report to be emailed automatically, a) which module do I use to achieve this? and b) would this be compatible with the XHTML one? c)is there a better way to do this? thanks again!

        continuing in terms of the generation of reports, i mentioned that these are aimed to be created and emailed automatically. If I had to do this another way, such as placing the reports at a specific place where these could be downloaded or accessed at a global basis. Given the capabilities of perl, what are my options/possibilities from achieving something like this?? Thank you in advance
