Ok, that's the response I imagined. So, I will use Jaspert report... But a last question : Do you know is I could push a bouton into my Smalltalk application and run a jasper report like this ? I think I could run any a process from smalltalk source code... Thank you again ! Patrick Le 09/07/2016 à 15:33, Ben Coman a écrit :
I had a poke around and couldn't find any API documentation. If you can find this someone could give a more considered opinion.
If you store your data in a relational database, perhaps you could use a third party report generator like Pentaho or JasperReports[1]. I believe these are designed to be bolted on to applications, so perhaps they'll have a more accessible API. From Pharo you should be able to use a REST based API [2] of Pentaho. It apparently does band reports [3].

Disclaimer - This is just info I found for curiosity. I haven't used any of these.

P.S. Band reports features like the table in [1] would be a great addition to the Pharo ecosystem.

Ok, thanks you for responses. A band report is more than a PDF generator... It's a queries manager with varaible management facilities : details queries connect to master query, and you can manage sub report bottlenek into other master reports. The band report generator has the ability to manage page organisation, and editor add text styled... I can't use samlltalk database without a good band report component.
But argos band report displayed under look to be fine, if there is a possibility to use it with smaltalk... It looks like argos is a server. But what about interfaces with smalltalk ?

Hi patrick
What is a band report? http://webhelp.evisions.com/HelpFiles/Argos/4.2/en/Content/10101001.html
Sorry Patrick. Pharo has such a GUI report generator. But Artefact seems to provide similar features via code...

Did you check Artefact because you can generate pdf with Artefact.

Hi,
My previous message stayed without responses, so I published it agin... I'm looking for a database band report component. The goal is to build quickly a PDF report from SQL requests. An exemple is Lazreport, this is a tutorial <http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/LazReport_Tutorial> .
