This report plugin allows Administrators to set up arbitrary database queries to act as ad-hoc reports. Reports can be of two types, either run on demand, or scheduled to run automatically. Reports can be grouped into categories, which helps when you have a lot of them.
Other users with the right capability can go to Administration -> Reports -> Ad-hoc database queries and see a list of queries to which they have access. Results can be viewed on-screen or downloaded as CSV.
Reports can contain placeholders, in which case, the user running the report is presented with a form where they can enter the values to substitute for the placeholders before running the report.
Scheduled reports can also be set to be send out be email whenever they are generated.
If a column has a name ending in date and contains integer values, then they
will be assumed to be unix timestamps, and formatted as dates. If a query
placeholder has a name ending in date, then users will be give a date-time
selector to input the value of that parameter.
Pairs of columns where one is called name, and the other called name_link_url
will be displayed as a single column containing links with link text from
name and the target URL from name_link_url.
You can set a limit on the maximum number of rows returned by a query (up to the hard limit of 5000).
