Report Writing on Linux...

What is the best way to generate generic database reports using Informix 9.2 under Linux given the following: I cannot use Perl. I cannot use NT. For the life of me, I haven't found a quick and simple solution that should exist. All I want to do is select some data and just do some simple formatting. All Informix has to do is add a few simple commands to dbaccess. Does 4GL work on Linux? Are there any 3rd party reporting tools that I can use? Dbaccess is way too limited...I guess I'll have to write an ugly unix script. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Hi! You can get ISQL which has forms and report writer or full 4GL package which might be an overkill for what you want to do.
