| 22 | This directory contains some screenshots of direct access to PyKota's |
|---|
| 23 | database through OpenOffice.org, as well as a sample report in both |
|---|
| 24 | PDF and OpenOffice.org's sxc format. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | The sample report is a Jobs per User diagram, created from a |
|---|
| 27 | simple SQL query to PyKota's database from within OpenOffice.org |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | Since it works but I don't know OpenOffice enough to do something |
|---|
| 30 | really nice with it, I've added these screenshots and here's a small |
|---|
| 31 | howto below. For people interested in a more complete howto, please |
|---|
| 32 | see : http://kandalaya.org/download/oo-pgsql.html |

| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | PyKota + PostgreSQL + OpenOffice.org HowTO : |
|---|
| 35 | -------------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | - Install and configure : |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | godbcconfig |
|---|
| 40 | gtkodbcconfig0 |
|---|
| 41 | iodbc |
|---|
| 42 | libiodbc2 |
|---|
| 43 | odbc-postgresql |
|---|
| 44 | odbcinst1 |
|---|
| 45 | unixodbc |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | - Within gODBCConfig, add the PostgreSQL driver by |
|---|
| 48 | filling the Configure Driver form : |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | Name : PostgreSQL |
|---|
| 51 | Description : PostgreSQL |
|---|
| 52 | Driver : /usr/lib/postgresql/psqlodbc.so |
|---|
| 53 | Setup : /usr/lib/odbc/libodbcpsqlS.so |
|---|
| 54 | FileUsage : 1 |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | See gODBCConfig1.png |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | Then create a system DSN (only the more important fields |
|---|
| 59 | are listed below) : |
|---|
| 60 | |
|---|
| 61 | DSN : PyKota |
|---|
| 62 | Description : PostgreSQL access to PyKota |
|---|
| 63 | Driver : PostgreSQL |
|---|
| 64 | Database : pykota |
|---|
| 65 | Servername : your.postgresql.server.here |
|---|
| 66 | Username : pykotauser |
|---|
| 67 | Password : pykotauser's password |
|---|
| 68 | Port : 5432 |
|---|
| 69 | |
|---|
| 70 | See gODBCConfig2.png |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | - Then in OpenOffice.org add a new data source, selecting |
|---|
| 73 | ODBC in the Database Type field. By clicking on the URL |
|---|
| 74 | field's continuation dots, the PyKota DSN should appear. |
|---|
| 75 | Just select it and you're done. |
|---|
| 76 | |
|---|
| 77 | See ooo1.png |
|---|
| 78 | |
|---|
| 79 | - You can now create your own queries to the PyKota database, |
|---|
| 80 | and create any report you want. |
|---|
| 81 | |
|---|
| 82 | See ooo2.png |
|---|
| 83 | |
|---|
| 84 | - When you've got something nice, please contribute it back |
|---|
| 85 | so we can learn from your experience. |
|---|
| 86 | |
|---|
| 87 | WARNING : |
|---|
| 88 | |
|---|
| 89 | The above procedure doesn't work if you use the OpenLDAP backend |
|---|
| 90 | to store PyKota's datas. A similar procedure is probably possible |
|---|
| 91 | but last time I checked, the LDAP attributes accessible from |
|---|
| 92 | OpenOffice.org were limited to what one usually finds in |
|---|
| 93 | address books, unfortunately. |
|---|
| 94 | |
|---|
| 95 | Windows Users : |
|---|
| 96 | |
|---|
| 97 | You'll find information on how to use the PostgreSQL ODBC |
|---|
| 98 | driver with OpenOffice.org for Windows at : |
