ReportBuilder - Feature Table

Delphi Report Designer tool

Overview	Feature Table	Standard	Professional	Enterprise	Server
OVERVIEW
Standard Edition The Standard Edition provides full-featured reporting capabilities for the serious Delphi developer. You can build simple reports quickly and complex reports elegantly with ReportBuilder standard Professional Edition This edition includes everything in Standard, plus a Crosstab component and a suite of end-user reporting components. The professional edition allows you to distribute the entire ReportBuilder development environment to your end users so that they can create and modify reports in the context of your application. Enterprise Edition The Enterprise Edition includes everything in Professional, plus the RAP language, which allows developers and end users to code calculations and complex event handlers at run-time. RAP enables the entire report definition (data, calculations, and layout) to be stored outside of the application executable. RAP enables developers to include Object Pascal code and Delphi-style event handlers within reports, making report layouts stand alone entities that can simply be loaded and executed. RAP continues in ReportBuilder’s tradition of extensibility, affording developers the ability to provide powerful Delphi functionality wrapped for users as simple function calls that can be easily generated via the RAP Code Toolbox. It also allows end-users to create calculations with a simple, intuitive drag & drop interface.
Server Edition The Server Edition can be divided into three basic parts: the Report Server, the Web Tier, and the Thin Client components: Report Server Server report content over the web via a multi-threaded Windows service Provide a list of available reports in a folder tree structure Send and receive search criteria for a given report Web Tier Publish reports as XHTML to web browser clients Build your own ISAPI, ASP, or Apache web applications Customize the generated XHTML and JavaScript framework Client Support Web: Select available reports, enter search criteria and preview report content via IE 5, IE 6, Netscape 4, and Netscape 6 Thin Client: Use the standard ReportBuilder UI to access server-based reports from within a Delphi application.

Run-time Pascal Environment (RAP)	Report Application Pascal (RAP) is ReportBuilder's run-time Pascal development environment! RAP enables the entire report definition (Data, Calculations, and Layout) to be stored outside of the application executable. Using RAP, developers and end-users can code calculations and event-handlers without Delphi. RAP is extensible - which means developers can easily register their own built-in functions and objects to meet specific requirements. (Source code to RAP compiler is not included.)
