While this is interesting and helpful in general I'm not sure if it's
appropriate in this case. The SQL gets pretty detailed and may be MySQL
specific and I think it's worth noting that anything this complex is likely
specific to a particular RDBMS. You're likely to want to use VIEWS in any
case. Of course, the main reason for objection is that the programming
examples are all in perl!!!
I recall that Adrian Hungate wrote a Zope product specially to help
generate reports: ZDataQueryKit. If nothing else it will help you write the
SQL!
Good luck
