MicroOLAP Technologies has updated DBACentral, putting a report engine into its GUI front-end tool for the open-source database MySQL, the company announced on Tuesday.

DBACentral for MySQL 1.6 presents a Microsoft Access-like interface for executing database operations.

The update will enable users to work with printable data reports, which they can automatically create from within tables, views and stored queries.

Alternatively, the update comes with a wizard for quickly generating reports. For more complicated reports, it comes with a report designer.
