I'm trying to find out how I can create a html table file out of the results i'm getting from my query in pgadmin 3. I've seen somebody doing that before but I can't find the setting; I've found the convert to csv setting, but I want html.
Thanks in advance
From the Query Editor window, after you've done a query which returned a set of rows, you want to go to File > Quick Report.
This will bring up a dialog where you can choose XHTML (which sounds like the one you would want) or XML, and whether to include a default style sheet, along with choosing the file name and a couple of other things, such as including the SQL in the report.

I have a pile of tabular data I need to paste onto a Confluence web page. The usual mechanisms are NOT working properly for me.
What "usual mechanisms?"
Copy the data to Excel then copy / paste into Confluence.
Format the content using wiki markup, meaning:
double bars before / between / after the column header cells
single bars before / between / after the data cells
and paste that into the Wiki page.
The first option gets me a table, but it doesn't show the grid lines, and the sorting doesn't work.
The second option plops the markup into the page, but does nothing with it. If I go to the first line and hit <return> after the last bar, it turns the line into a table with a header row (since it has double-bars). If I go to the second line and hit <return> after the last bar, it creates A SEPARATE TABLE with the data in it. I can go to the first table (created from the header row), tell Confluence to add a row below, then copy the data from the second table into that second row and it will do it. But I will need to repeat that sequence for EACH ROW OF DATA.
I've just lived with in this in the past. When there's only a few rows, no biggie. But I'm trying to create a table with 200+ rows. That sequence just isn't acceptable for this amount of work.
Suggestions on how to get this working?
I went a circuitous route to accomplish this:
Made a text file with my information and tab-separated the fields
Pasted this data in to Google Sheets
Copied the cells from Google Sheets
Pasted them in to the a pre-made table in Confluence
It was still faster than writing each field manually.
To insert large tables with the second option you need to first hit Ctrl + Shift + D and then paste in the table in wiki markup form.
Wrap the table in any macros required if you know the macro name and parms. This can be a serious PITA to do after a table has been created in the Confluence 5 GUI.
Click Insert and the resulting table will be converted to the new wiki format into the page.
According to this link, I'd assume it's a bug with the version of Confluence, at least as far as the sorting goes.
Looking through the Confluence JIRA, there appear to have been several issues with copy/pasting from Excel over the development. At least there's a workaround:
Workaround:
Go to the editor again
Cut out the (unsortable) table
Paste it again
Mark the first row as Header
Save the page
-> Now the table is sortable
If that does not work, please install the The confluence source editor, then edit the page to:
Remove the row " "
Replace all "td" tag to "th" tag for the first row of the table. For example, the column name "Number" will need to change from "Number" to "Number".
My Excel has 10 K rows and some rows are with background color. To maintain the Cell background color I followed this steps
Saved the Excel File as HTML File
Open the HTML code, Copy the Complete TABLE (HTML CODE)
In Confluence page Insert HTML Macro
Insert your codes and see the cell color will maintain.
In ireport when clicking on preview, and you have parameters, you'll get a parameter box where you put a certain value to get specific record(s).Now i am trying to put specific values in the parameter box, so that the user would choose between it.
The same goal as in this so question : Loading promt box with parameters in iReport
However i want to do it without using Jasper Server. Is it possible to achieve this only from within IReport Designer?
You can do this,right click on the input control and select to add the local input control and provide id and name for the input control
Under the input control details select single select list of values if you have the list of values with you or if you want to add the data of a column as drill down select single select select query and extract that field.
This will help you to drill down the data.
Thanks and Regards

I'm pretty sure you can not do this in iReport preview. Have no clue what #Megha is refereeing to....
You can provide default value for your parameter through the <defaultValueExpression> tag and decide if you wan't it to prompt or not to prompt with the isForPrompting attribute.
Why can't we have select list, well I guess iReport is a tool for developers, so the preview is only to test the report. For customers jasper soft have developed the jasper report server.
And remember you can always develop your own interface (in swing or on the web)
I have made a split form and in that split form I have made a text box and a command button so when I search for a specific record it is showed in the Split form.
My problem is that I want to open a report with the records that is showed in the split form but when I creat the macro Open Report and bound it to another command button, it show all the records from my table.
I think need to write someting in the Where conditions and I have tried alot but I cant get it to work.
Yes, You are right you have to write specific select query for getting result.
Query below will help you.
SELECT * FROM your_TableName WHERE your_ColumnName LIKE 's%';
I have created a crystal report with datasets(xsd) , it is working fine. Then i added a new field in xsd and when i open the field explorer it do not show that field, i added source again through database expert but still it is not showing that field. Any other person faced such issue then please help.
After waiting a lot for right answer and searching on internet i tried different options by myself and the problem was solved by right clicking on database fields and then click on verify database. If some one have some better option then please suggest.
I had the same problem and resolved it by adding parameter input and running the report from the designer. Crystal report popped up and said that it was fixing the report and refreshed the connection to the database for the most current fields.
I had a similar easy where Log on or Log off server and Verify Database wouldn't update the database fields list in Crystal Reports. The only thing that worked for me was to physically move the typed dataset to a different location. After creating a new connection within Set Datasource Location I updated the datasource and there it was....
Sap Crystal report has a problem while refreshing database changes to crystal report. I found this solution and it works like a charm:
First go to refresh data base option and then it will ask you to enter parameter values to the stored procedure
then without passing any values just press escape button it will suddenly ask you to confirm the changes made to database when you do it on second time it will say database is up to date
Don't forget to rebuild your solutions before validate your database.
Restarting the Machine did the trick for me.
Some data types in dataset can't show in crystal reports try to change data types ( example don't use System.DateTimeOffset use datetime only)
Verity database in database fields
If your DataSet (.xsd) came by "Add Existing File" and not create one, then you will encounter a problem like mine. to fix this:
-Find the DatasetName.xsd file and all of its name-like file . Copy it EXCEPT THE DESIGNER (DatasetName.Designer.cs) and paste it somewher, you will re-paste it later
-In your VS. Delete the DataSet (xsd File) in your project by right click it in your Solution Explorer. This will delete any traces of file.
-Re-paste the files that you copied in the same location. Then in VS. And add the xsd file that you re-paste.
-Then you can now add columns. And it will update the DataSet, and also the Crystal Report will see the updated column
Reason: For i-dont-know-what-the-heck-happened, if you include the designer file then add it in you project, then you add columns to it, the VS will create new designer.cs file instead of overwriting the existing file. So the column registers only in original but the newly created one only recognized as valid (which is no traces of new added column)
You can press F5 to see preview, if crystal report find out new fields it will verify all field in database, and your new fields will appear.
Hope this will help you!
Log off from server, then verify database, that did the trick for me!
By just updating the entire datasource location did not work for me. I had to expand the source location and then update the individual table. Hope this helps someone.
Right click REPORTDATASET then select Set Datasource Location.
click database files and select your existing *.xsd. then you will see REPORTDATASET.
select it.
update
close
Now you will be seeing the new fields in your *.rpt :)
I use the following technique:
Select datadese expert in crystal report
Select previous added datatable.
Press "<<" to remove it from reporting, its related columns are removed from report automatically.
Then select Project Data>>ADO .Net DataSets>> your updated dataset
Press ">>" to add and click the OK button.
New added field also shows in dataBase fields and then added in report.
I created a label report (2 columns). The fields used are, Suffix, Contact Name, Company Name, Job Title and Department – simple contact data.
The Department field is the last one and in the report of 78 records the Department field decided not to display the entire field text twice.
I have "Can Grow" set as default on all fields, I checked the margins and label width to ensure the text is not being truncated because of the labels being too wide for the margins. I modified the data in the database by abbreviating certain words and it shows the change but it still truncates after 50 characters. Other times the Department name is 80+ characters and it displays all of the data.
This problem is happening onscreen when I preview the report and also when various users print it. The default printers have not changed.
This one has me stumped. Is this an application bug (if so is there a Service Pack for CR 11.5?) or does it have anything to do with printer drivers in need of update?
Thanks in advance for your help on this puzzle.
Update
I did specify data source
The text in the database is without any special characters or anythig else that might be out of place
No I am not using Underlaying Following sections anywhere in the document
11.5.8.998 is my version of CR (lloks like I am behind - however, when I click on verify for updates it tells me there aren't any. Do you ahve a link to the SP2 download?)
No formula in the Custom string option
Mine worked by simply going to the Database Menu option: Database-->Verify Database, and the field sizes were updated
It could happen if the length of the field in the Data Source is less than your string. To check this:
In the Field Explorer right click on the data source name and choose "Show Field Type"
The length of the field is written between ( ). If it is less than your string length, you have to re-build your data source. For example, if your data source is a view, you have to drop and create it again and then verify your data base in crystal report.
Hope it helps.
Random troubleshooting thoughts. One of these could even work :)
You didn't specify your datasource, but can you preview your data before it goes into Crystal? If the actual data is randomly truncated, then the problem isn't Crystal, it's the data.
Does this data have any special characters, i.e. accents, foreign currencies, etc? That could be a problem (I don't know if this could even create problems, never used them in Crystal)
In the Section Expert, are you using the Underlaying Following Sections option for fancy formatting? If so, your 'grown' fields may be hidden by some other field in the following section.
My Crystal Reports XI Developer Edition is 11.5.12.1838 (that's service pack 2). Is your Crystal up to date?
In the Format Field pane, there is an option to make a custom Display String. Sometimes I forget I have a formula and then don't understand why it's not doing what i want.
