The SQuirreL module provides a powerful relational database based upon
the data held within your Beaver system.
Using the industry leading MySQL
database server, it enables you to use your favourite ODBC client tools
to generate reports, queries or even other applications when coupled
with powerful programming languages such as
PHP.
Because the database is a copy of the Beaver data, you can locate this
database on a separate server, or mirror it on multiple servers
throughout your enterprise.
What's more, once the main module itself is installed, there are no
client licencing costs - the ODBC connection software is available free
of charge under the GNU Public Licence. Commercial non-GPL licences are
also available.
SQuirreL currently supports MySQL only, with support for alternative
databases such as Postgres and SQL Server in development.
