Subject: [xsl] (newbie) Advice on using database or XSLT for formatting? From: "Glen Mazza" <grm7790@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2005 17:47:31 -0500 |
Hello, I'm using Apache FOP to generate a PDF report from data in an Oracle database. Xalan is the XSLT processor I'm using. This data consists of many Oracle number and date datatypes, as well as some char/varchar2 fields. I notice that I have two options with respect to formatting: I can use format-number() and extension EXSLT methods for formatting dates. Or, I can do the same within the Oracle database while querying the information (i.e., use the Oracle TO_CHAR function to get numbers and dates formatted as I desire.) Are there any general guidelines, rules-of-thumb in terms of where I should do element formatting--database or stylesheet? Thanks, Glen
