San Francisco Ð Objective Technologies premiered at NeXTWORLD Expo its re-port-writing software Impress, which allows relational-data-base users to present information in a range of formats.
Working with DBKit-compatible data, Impress features graphical-layout tools and point-and-click SQL-query creation. Mathematical calculations can be programmed with an object-oriented scripting language. Its report-generation functions include headers, footers, and sidebars.
The program supports hierarchical, conditional, and flat sets of data, as well as queries, and includes an extensible API that allows Impress to be used as a report engine in custom applications.
Scheduled for beta release this fall, Impress is expected to sell for $850.
