Full Automated Reporting Tool for PgAdmin ans MSSQL Server (C#)

Intro:

This Reporting Tool Automates our reports from PostgreSql and MSSQL servers simultaneously.The most important advantage is that we don’t need a server for the this Tool, it could be run on a workstation desktop, laptop.

Also no need for scheduled tasks for each report, this tool runs multiple reports at the same time!

The Tool will be used to retrieve data only and no data manipulation can be implementedIt has also a helper, a Report Builder where we can build our reports -which will be run later by the Reporting Tool-, Edit, or Delete them

Technologies used: C#, WinForm, DataGridView, Ado.Net, plSql and T-Sql

Just a few words about the last TabPage, Report Manager helps to deactivate, reactivate, reschedule, rename, revise the query and delete reports.You need first to login then you can do eveything mentioned above

The Reporting Tool:

We’re excpecting two reports to be run at 12:00 and please note one of them is PL and the other one is MS and both should be sent at 12:00

But you can also select a report and run it manually using Run Selected Button (while we wait )

And The reports ran automatically at 12:00 and here we go
