Business intelligence - how can I get reports from 3rd Party SQL Databases into Confluence OnDemand?

[Chris Swain]

I am making business intelligence reports for a hotel chain. We are using using Confluence OnDemand for all operations of the chain and I want data from different SQL databases to appear on the site. For example I want to see daily call volume and conversion rate from a the reservation center database (Navis, SQL) and I want to see occupancy rate for each location from the property management software database (Springer Miller Enterprise, SQL). As of this writing the SQL Plugin for Confluence on the Atlassian Marketplace does not work for OnDemand. However are there other ways to get SQL reports to Confluence OnDemand (e.g. using REST or other technologies)?

Play SQL is working on an OnDemand extension for SQL reports.

Check out Bob Swift's Confluence CLI Client. You could set up a daily scheduled task to upload the report as an attachment. Plus it works with OnDemand.

OnDemand has some information on this topic. You can vote for the SQL specific issue. There is a publish option that I use for my OnDemand instance - see How to publish SQL queries to OnDemand.
