Installation

myDBR is a PHP application that keeps its configuration, reports, access rights and database objects in a database. To run it you need a web server with PHP, a database (MySQL, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL) and the PHP loader that runs the compiled application. Optional modules add charts, PDF export and more.
