Features of Reports - can I use a VDK Database to runthesereports?

Fri Jun 13 21:12:09 CDT 2008

OK, ready to test against the ADK.

Is there an ADK (for REALbasic on Windows) that contains the vReports api?

i.e.
Valentina.InitReports( "MySerial", "", "" )
vReports
vReportContainer
etc.

I was using the following as a database:
myDB v3.5.2.vdb
and vStudio would return only
myDB v3.5

So it looks like vStudio could NOT find a db named: myDB v3.5.vdb

I've downloaded and install vStudio v3.6B20 BETA.
The Reports Project interface looks very promising.

I've created a new project with a query, data source, and a blank report.

When I open the report in the designer to add a field from the database, 
the fields area/section contains NO fields.

Did I miss something or is this as far as b20 goes?

Can I execute these reports against a VDK database?
i.e. not a vServer db.

Lets not stick into old examples.

Very very soon, we will upload big new beta release b20.
Examples and API of all ADKs is re-done.
    * it is more simple now.

And the main -- now reports can be generated on the VSERVER side !!!
    this is very cool I should say.

Although it talk about old examples you have

    example.rev
    report.vsp          <<<< this is Valentina Studio PROJECT file.
                            which contains REPORTs designed in Vstudio.

Then you run example, it create DB with one table and few records,
And then against of this db example build SQL cursor,
Then generate report

Yes, 

Again steps are:

* YOU DESIGN in Vstudio in visual way some reports.
    they are stored in  my_project.vsp

* in REV/RB/Director/PHP/... app  you will be able open this project
    file, 

       proj =  new Vproject( locationPath )

Then extract this or that report

        rep1 = proj.MakeNewReport( "report1" )

Then you can 

A) get JPG of Nth page for this report against some SQL SELECT query

    JPG = rep1.GetPreviewPage( Nth )

        show jpg to user as preview

B) produce PDF on disk or into RAM for some ADKs

        rep1.PrintToPDf( location )

That is all.

Also, myproject.VSP  can be on client side, and connect to remote VSERVER to
get data  OR (!!!) VSP can be under some  VSERVER, and VSERVER itself
produce JPG or PDF and sent to vclient.

Especially impressive for me this looks when VPHP get PDF or JPG from
VSERVER, and show it right into browser.

I think, it is very clear that now we get new level of work with daa.
    you can develop application, and design any number of reports
    in visual way. AND what is nice, you can CHANGE reports later,
    without need to change code and recompile app
