Database Reporting Tools from Altova

Direct Database Reporting

Altova StyleVision® 2012 is a powerful database reporting tool that allows you to design stylesheets based on a database (or XML/XBRL data sources) to generate report output to HTML, RTF, PDF, and Word 2007+ (OOXML) – all from a single design. StyleVision supports all of the most popular relational databases, including:

Microsoft® SQL Server® 2000, 2005, 2008

IBM DB2® 8, 9

IBM DB2 for iSeries® v5.4, 6.1

Oracle® 9i, 10g, 11g

Sybase® 12

MySQL® 4, 5

PostgreSQL 8

Microsoft Access™ 2003, 2007

To design a database report in StyleVision, you simply connect to the required tables in your database and design your database report using drag-and-drop functionality and rich formatting options. Based on your design, StyleVision automatically creates stylesheets to output your report in HTML, RTF, PDF, and Word 2007+ – you get four eye-catching reports from one easy-to-create design!

A fifth output format, the Authentic electronic form is also automatically generated. The Authentic eForm provides a word processor-style interface for non-technical users to edit databases for single source output in HTML, RTF, PDF, and Word 2007+.

Database Reporting for Single Source Publishing

XML separates content from presentation, providing a framework for implementing single source publishing. However, XML alone does not address all the challenges associated with single source publishing, nor does it provide a de facto solution for managing the huge amounts of data stored in relational databases. Altova StyleVision closes this gap to enable true single source publishing by allowing you to create one design to output data stored in databases and XML in multiple formats.

Read the single source publishing whitepaper (PDF 838 KB) to learn more about the benefits of single source publishing. You’ll also learn how StyleVision removes the obstacles that often stand in the way of successful single source publishing implementations.
