Thread: pgaccess question

I just used pgaccess for the first time and i have to say I'm impressed. But
there is one problem I have encountered. Why isn't it possible to create a
report from a view? I defined the query I like to be reported as view so I
can see the date even when using psql. But I cannot create a report from it
without doubling my effort.

Or did I miss something obvious?

hi Michael,

it is possible but you have to type the viewname manually in the
datasource field of the report generator. the views are not
listed but its there, believe me :-))

Yup, that works. I never even thought about manually typing anything. :-)

However, I found some missing questions quite annoying. For instance it
would be nice if pgaccess asked me if I really want to close and throw away
the unsaced changes.

it does but only in forms :-))

think we have to ask Teo if he wants to add this feature to the
report generator and maybe to others like views, tables 
and so on ? 
maybe this means a lot of work for him
