This website is built for BTech 450 project in the year 2007, it contains all the information about the project and all the required documents. This website is maintained by Haoxiang Zhu throughout the year while the project is being progressed.

Project Goal:

To create a data source definition tool and integrate this with the existing reporting facilities in the Kiwiplan Java GUI framework.

Project Description:

Power users in organisations often wish to report on custom data sources. Traditionally power user reporting tools connect to a back-end database and allow the definition of an SQL query and then reports are built on the resultset from this query.

Kiwiplan wishes to allow the user to link together business objects in a SQLjoin style fashion to achieve custom data sources based on the business objects, rather than just a SQL query on the database backend. This will mean that the joins are on business attributes or associations, rather than on foreign key columns.

Project Status:

Complete!
