`emp_last_name` varchar(20) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `emp_first_name` varchar(30) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `emp_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, We will create an employee table and dump some sample data into it.
Python 3.8.0, Flask 1.1.1, fpdf 1.7.2 (pip install fpdf) Creating MySQL TableĪs we are going to generate CSV report from MySQL database, so we need a table and data into this table to be able to generate report from the table. PDF files are compatible across multiple platforms whereas a word document may not be viewable easily in Mac system.can easily be altered without leaving an electronic footprint. Reports are mostly generated in PDF format because a PDF file is a “read only” document that cannot be altered without leaving an electronic footprint whereas other formats like image, word, excel etc.PDF format reports allow professionals to edit, share, collaborate and ensure the security of the content within digital documents.
As we are not saving this pdf report anywhere in the physical location of the server, so we will send the data in the Response object as an attachment. We are going to use fpdf API for generating pdf report. A download link will be provided on front-end or UI on which end users will click and will get an option to save the generated pdf file as per their chosen location. We will generate the pdf file on the fly from MySQL database in this web application. We will create a web application using light-weight web framework called Flask.
#PYTHON PDFKIT DISPLAYS COLUMNS HOW TO#
We will create an example on how to generate PDF report from MySQL database using Python Flask.
