ReportGenerator

1 Overview

A small tool (library) for generating reports (plain dataset) from Stored Procedures or Views following databases:

MS SQL (SQL Server)
MySQL
Postgres

These reports could be generated in MS Excel or CSV formats with templates files (typically Headers only). Logic of data extracting depends on parameters (variables) Stored procedures or Views (WHERE parameters, ORDER BY and GROUP BY parameters).

Report generator core passes parameters for data filtering in View or Variables for Stored Procedures, parameters are taking from:

1. ExecutionConfig (.xml file)
1. in runtime (as instance of ExecutionConfig class).

There are two ways for getting data:

from stored procedure (passing variables)
from view (passing where clauses, ordering and grouping conditions)

In both 2 ways there are a possibility to manipulate data selection by setting parameters (for stored procedure) and automatic sql generation for filtering View data. It should be noted that there is a configuration of View and StoredProcedure in xml.

1.1 Configuration

For Stored Procedure Configuration we must set StoredProcedure

Name to stored procedure name

And also if we have aparameters we should specify collection of StoredProcedureParameters like, ParameterType is a integer value which is specific for databaseEngine :

SQL Server - SqlDbType (https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/system.data.sqldbtype(v=vs.110).aspx)

MySQL Server - MySqlDbType (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-net/8.0/html/T_MySql_Data_MySqlClient_MySqlDbType.htm)

Postgres - NpgsqlDbType (https://www.npgsql.org/doc/api/NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDbType.html) ` Example of config for SQL server (examples of config could be found in ReportGenerator.Core.Tests/ExampleConfig)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ExecutionConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <!-- 
       If use SQL Server see for parameters Type : https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/dotnet/api/system.data.sqldbtype 
    -->
    <DataSource>StoredProcedure</DataSource>
    <Name>GetSitizensByCityAndDateOfBirth</Name>
    <StoredProcedureParameters>
        <!-- SQL Server NVarChar enum value is 12-->
        <ParameterType>12</ParameterType> 
        <ParameterName>City</ParameterName>
        <ParameterValue xsi:type="xsd:string">N'Yekaterinburg</ParameterValue>
    </StoredProcedureParameters>
    <StoredProcedureParameters>
        <!-- SQL Server Int enum value is 8-->
        <ParameterType>8</ParameterType>
        <ParameterName>PostalCode</ParameterName>
        <ParameterValue xsi:type="xsd:string">620000</ParameterValue>
    </StoredProcedureParameters>
    <StoredProcedureParameters>
        <!-- SQL Server Date enum value is 4-->
        <ParameterType>4</ParameterType>
        <ParameterName>DateOfBirth</ParameterName>
        <ParameterValue xsi:type="xsd:string">'2018-01-01'</ParameterValue>
    </StoredProcedureParameters>
</ExecutionConfig>

For View Configuration is a little similar as DataSource we must note View:

View

Name is a name of View

But here we should also specify parameters for rows selection (WHERE, ORDER BY and GROUP BY parameters). All of them are represented with only one type - DbQueryParameter.

DbQueryParameter consist of following:

-collection of JoinCondition (works only for WHERE parameters) - is way of how parameters joined in WHERE statement by logical AND or logical OR, or maybe AND/OR with inversion - AND NOT Condition ... OR NOT Condition (see example below). Should be ommited for first parameter in WHERE statement.

-parameter Name make sense for every type of parameter (WHERE, ORDER BY and GROUP BY)

-comparison operator (make sense only for WHERE parameters) - is any valid SQL condition operator like >, <, =, IS, IS NOT, IN, BETWEEN, LIKE and so on...

-parameter value works for WHERE (value for comparison) and ORDER BY (ASC or DESC), THESE are DEFAULT values, they OF COURSE could be set during the runtime

Example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ExecutionConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

## 3 Service for Dependency injection
  
Here is example of how to use ReportGenerator with dependency injection:
`csharp
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
    using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
    using ReportGenerator.Core.Database;
    using ReportGenerator.Core.Database.Managers;
    using ReportGenerator.Core.Database.Utils;
    using ReportGenerator.Core.Extensions;
    using ReportGenerator.Core.ReportsGenerator;
    using Xunit;

    namespace ReportGenerator.Core.Tests.Extensions

            {
                _testDbName = TestDatabasePattern + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("YYYYMMDDHHmmss");
                _dbManager = new CommonDbManager(DbEngine.SqlServer, _loggerFactory.CreateLogger<CommonDbManager>());
