How to generate and format a report from Ubuntu database into Open Office
 

I have created the database I want.
I have entered data.
I can sort the data while at the data base.

What I don't know how to do is to:
Create a format (layout) and to sort & send the data from the database to and Open Office document.

The lay out I want is: Landscape, two columns.

I want to sort the data and send it to locations of my choice on pages of that shape and size.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

I'm not a database guy, but my first reaction is, when you say "Ubuntu database," what database engine (MySQL, Postgres, ???) are you referring to?

I suspect that any database guy who sees your question would want to know that.
