Doug Gorley <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: DORA - Doug\'s Open Reporting Application
System name: dora
Type: non-GNU
Description:
DORA (Doug\'s Open Reporting Application) will be an free software (licensed
under the GPL v2) tool for providing simple web reports from an RDBMS. The
desire for a simple tool for accomplishing this arose from the tedious process
needed to create a Crystal Report and display it on the web. DORA will improve
on this by:
(1) Being completely web-based.
(2) Being completely free.
(3) Being simple to install, configure and use.
(4) Being incredibly flexible in its output format.
The real power of DORA is the ability to define your own output format using
the Template Toolkit (http://www.template-toolkit.org/). A DORA report will
essentially consist of a SQL query and an output template. This will allow the
user to return their results in HTML, plain text, LaTeX, Postscript, CSV, XML,
or any other format they desire.
DORA is currently still in the design phase, and as such there is currently no
code to show you. (Sorry!)
Other Software Required:
(1) Perl
(2) Various Perl Modules available on CPAN
(3) Perl Modules written by the author and released under the GPL
(2) A web server (preferrably Apache)
