\n\n\n\nUsing Five to Generate PDF Files from a SQL Database<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Generating a PDF file from data stored in a SQL database is a common development task. Traditional SQL admin tools or GUIs, however, do not support PDF report generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five is a rapid application development environment that supports database creation, SQL queries, and PDF report generation. It also comes with many other useful features to build a web app such as forms, charts, dashboards, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s explore how we can go from a SQL database to a PDF file in a few simple steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nExample: Generating PDF Files on A SQL Database<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Here is an example of an online quotation generator<\/a> developed in Five. This template app is available when you sign up for one of Five’s subscription plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe quotation generator is running on a custom SQL database, created and maintained in Five. It generates a standardized quotation PDF, including bill-to and ship-to addresses, or quotation line items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To try out the report generator template, click Quotations <\/strong>in the menu on the left, select an existing quotation or create a new one, and then click the Generate PDF <\/strong>button. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFive generates the PDF inside the web app, and users can download the PDF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nBuilding a web app that turns form inputs into a PDF file stored inside a database is a straightforward exercise in Five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s a simple scenario: your business needs a new monthly inventory report (yet again). Let’s check out how quickly we can build this in Five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n1. Creating the SQL Database<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
First up, Five gives developers a dedicated MySQL database<\/strong>. This built-in MySQL can be created using Five’s Table Wizard<\/strong> or its visual Database Modeler<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWe will generate our report on top of this integrated MySQL database. Of course, a report can also be generated on any external, pre-existing relational database<\/strong>. To use your existing database, connect it to Five, using a connection string.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nHere’s what our database looks like for this example. We have a single table that stores information about Warehouses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Five.Co](\"https:\/\/preview-php85.dzine.org\/five\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-6-1024x464.png\")
