Powerful substitution variables

You can use substitution variables in the SQL text where input from the end-user is required. You can define if these substitution variables are string, number or date values, if they should be represented as selection lists or checkboxes, what the default value is, and so on.

Graphical Query Builder

The graphical Query Builder makes it easy to create new select statements or modify existing ones. Just drag and drop tables and views, select columns for the field list, where clause and order by clause, join tables based on foreign key constraint definitions, and you're done.

SQL Editor

The SQL editor uses syntax highlighting to improve readability of the SQL text, and to quickly verify if your SQL syntax is correct. In case of an SQL syntax error, the cursor will be located on the error position.

PL/SQL Developer report compatibility

Query Reporter uses the same report definition file format as PL/SQL Developer. Therefore you can use Query Reporter to run reports created by PL/SQL Developer users, without needing a PL/SQL Developer license or installation.

Command-line interface

You can use Query Reporter's command-line interface to run reports without any user-interaction, and to save the result in an HTML file. These result files can be viewed with any Web Browser. For example:

QueryReporter userid=scott/tiger@chicago exec=DeptEmp.rep html=DeptEmp.html quit

Security

You can create reports that need to be run under privileged accounts, without providing the password to the end-user. You can for example define a report for the SYS account, and include the SYS password in the encrypted report definition file. You can only view or modify the report definition if you have the SYS password.

Export features

The query results of a report can be exported to HTML, XML, CSV or TSV format. You can alternatively show the results directly in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
