Provides a unified interface to the report designers to use different Web Services as BIRT Data Source using Yahoo! Query Language(YQL) a query language similar to SQL

Birt Version:-3.7

This devshare submission qualifies for Plug In 2 BIRT Contest

YQL ODA Driver enables BIRT to use different web services available on the internet as Data Source using simple query language similar to SQL with limited functionality.

Yahoo! Query Language(YQL) is a query language for retrieving data from the internet. Using YQL we can query for places, get stock and weather information, search for photos on Flickr service. YQL returns data in JSON or XML format. Now accessing the web and its services becomes as easy as SQL:

select {what} from {service} where {condition}

YQL is not limited to services provided by Yahoo!, it can be easily extended by using Open Data Tables. There are many community created tables already available.

I've attached Zip file containing Plugin jars, User Guide, Sample Reports and YQL queries. Please feel free to contact me for assitance in using this plugin and reporting bugs.

Very useful idea, opens up a possibility to fetch data from almost any web service. The ODA works great as well. Very nicely done. Great work Subhas!
