- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- Welcome to Shazam Report Wizard (SRW), the positively fastest way to
- create sophisticated ad-hoc reports from your database applications.
- With its simplified Query-By-Example (QBE) interface and prompted dialogs,
- you'll be creating fabulous reports in record time -- without the learning
- curve of full report writers. You can accomplish this without any knowledge
- of Structured Query Language (SQL), the industry-standard method to search
- a database.
-
- Shazam Report Wizard minimizes the need for in-depth QBE or SQL syntax knowledge
- commonly required by other reporting solutions. Shazam will quickly become your
- resident guru at writing powerful SQL code for you.
-
- Shazam Report Wizard's integrated QBE interface makes defining search criteria
- easy. Power users are also supported with custom field expressions, aggregate
- calculations, Having and Group By clauses, column totals, table aliases and
- self-joins. With Shazam and a few mouse clicks, just about anyone with a little
- database understanding can quickly become power users!
-
- Shazam Report Wizard is truly "instant reporting at its best."
-
-
- EXECUTABLE DEMO

- Wizard. Features disabled: Export, Cut/Copy SQL code and Printing displays the
- message, "This page was printed with an unregistered copy of Shazam Report Wizard."

-
- DEVELOPER'S DEMO

- version of Shazam Report Wizard. Open SRWEXAMP.DPR from Borland Delphi to
- see the DCU version in action. It has the same limitations as the stand-

- project (any project) be open.
