Since Koha uses MySQL as a backend for the data, one can use any number of
programs that have open database connectivity to access the data and print
custom reports and labels.

 

I am most familiar with MS Access as a good front end for making nice
reports and labels. I have also set up LibreOffice/OpenOffice Base as a
front end to the data to make custom reports and labels. This is how we do
patron cards. One of these days I'll post my database frontend on the wiki
with a how to. Once the open database connectors are installed, it is simply
a matter of connecting to the database with the right password. I give only
read privileges to this database so as not to mess up any of the MySQL data.

 

It is some learning to become familiar with database front ends, but once
you get the basics down, you can customize to your heart's content without
needing to know any code. Knowing this key skill will also enable you to do
lots of customized letters to the patrons or bulk email notifications.
