ORBS (Open Report Bridge System) is a Perl based implementation of a SQL Reporting system for MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. ORBS uses configuration files as parameters and exports the data into Excel, XML, HTML, PDF, CSV, or TEX format.
The Excel format is readable in most Office suites (Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, etc.).
ORBS is based on 2 previous open source projects that are no longer actively being developed (psRpt and Spiders). ORBS is a rewrite of the psRpt report generation engine and Spider's web interfaces with developer API tools to integrate ORBS to other third party applications.
