Report Formatting and Output

A report table can be formatted for output as a report using a database report writing program. Following is a brief discussion of the report writing programs available for the database products to which MicroStation offers interfaces.

Oracle Reports

Oracle supports report writing both from within the standard SQL*Plus interface and with other sophisticated report writing packages. SQL*Plus supports most report writing functions. It allows you to control column layout, page size, add headers and footers, and control breaks for subtotals. You can also join tables and create summary reports.

Microsoft Access Reports

Microsoft Access contains reporting tools that allow for highly customized results. Wizards provide guidance for control of data and creation of graphical charts in the standard Microsoft Access package.
