Announcing Alpha Five V7 Client Server “Enterprise Reporting”

Create Reports on Any SQL Database

Transform Data into Information

We are delighted to announce the new Alpha Five v7 “Enterprise Reporting” add-in which allows you to create reports, labels and mail-merge letters on any SQL database for which an ODBC driver is available or for which Alpha Five has a native driver.


Alpha Five has native drivers for MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Access, and Excel. With Alpha Five’s native drivers, connecting to these backend databases is extremely easy and quick - no ODBC drivers to install, no DSN files to configure! (Alpha Five also has a driver for QuickBooks. This driver requires that you purchase QODBC from FLEXquarters.com.)

“Enterprise Reporting” lets you access data from anywhere, manipulate it, format it, and transform it into “actionable” information that can help you understand your business better. Answer questions such as “Which products produce the most profits?”, “Which sales people are most productive?”, or “What items sell best in which region and during what times of the year?”


“Enterprise Reporting” includes an intuitive “SQL Query Genie” that allows users who have little or no experience with SQL to build very complex SQL statements in a snap. The SQL Query Genie supports “two way editing” – make changes to the generated SQL and see the results in the Genie, or make changes in the Genie and see the result in the generated SQL.


Another great feature of “Enterprise Reporting” is “passive-link” tables. These are native Alpha Five tables that are populated with data from remote SQL databases and that can be refreshed at any time to get the latest data from the backend database. “Passive-link” tables are great for building reporting and analysis applications on remote data - especially if you want to work in a “disconnected” mode.


Other features of the “Enterprise Reporting” add-in include:

·         Portable SQL – create SQL queries using “portable” SQL syntax. Queries will work against all supported database types even though different databases have subtle differences in their SQL.

·         Work in connected or disconnected mode – you don’t have to be connected to your backend database to edit your report definitions.

·         Save reports in PDF, RTF and HTML formats. Password protect and add watermarks to your PDF reports.

·         Distribute reports via e-mail.

·         Combine data from multiple sources (like Access, Excel, MS SQL Server, MySQL, and native Alpha Five tables) into your reports.


For a limited time you can purchase the “Enterprise Reporting” add-in for V7 for just $199 (Regular Price $299) . We are so sure that you will like it that we are offering a 60 day money back guarantee.
