+===========================================================
+BI Views builder, based on Materialized or Normal SQL Views
+===========================================================
+
+This module extends the functionality of reporting, to support creation
+of extra custom reports.
+It allows user to write a custom SQL request. (Generally, admin users)
+
+Once written, a new model is generated, and user can map the selected field
+with odoo fields.
+Then user ends the process, creating new menu, action and graph view.
+
+Technically, the module create SQL View (or materialized view, if option is
+checked). Materialized view duplicates datas, but request are fastest. If
+materialized view is enabled, this module will create a cron task to refresh
+the data).
+
+By default, users member of 'SQL Request / User' can see all the views.
+You can specify extra groups that have the right to access to a specific view.
+
+Warning
+-------
+This module is intended for technician people in a company and for Odoo integrators.
+
+It requires the user to know SQL syntax and Odoo models.
+
+If you don't have such skills, do not try to use this module specially on a production
+environment.
+
+Use Cases
+---------
+
+this module is interesting for the following use cases
+
+* You want to realize technical SQL requests, that Odoo framework doesn't allow
+  (For exemple, UNION with many SELECT) A typical use case is if you want to have
+  Sale Orders and PoS Orders datas in a same table
+
+* You want to customize an Odoo report, removing some useless fields and adding
+  some custom ones. In that case, you can simply select the fields of the original
+  report (sale.report model for exemple), and add your custom fields
+
+* You have a lot of data, and classical SQL Views have very bad performance.
+  In that case, MATERIALIZED VIEW will be a good solution to reduce display duration
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+To configure this module, you need to:
+
+* Go to Settings / Technical / Database Structure / SQL Views
+
+* tip your SQL request
+
+  .. figure:: /bi_sql_editor/static/description/01_sql_request.png
+     :width: 800 px
+
+* Select the group(s) that could have access to the view
+
+  .. figure:: /bi_sql_editor/static/description/02_security_access.png
+     :width: 800 px
+
+* Click on the button 'Clean and Check Request'
+
+* Once the sql request checked, the module analyses the column of the view,
+  and propose field mapping. For each field, you can decide to create an index
+  and set if it will be displayed on the pivot graph as a column, a row or a
+  measure.
+
+  .. figure:: /bi_sql_editor/static/description/03_field_mapping.png
+     :width: 800 px
+
+* Click on the button 'Create SQL View, Indexes and Models'. (this step could
+  take a while, if view is materialized)
+
+* If it's a MATERIALIZED view: 
+    * a cron task is created to refresh
+      the view. You can so define the frequency of the refresh.
+    * the size of view (and the indexes is displayed)
+
+  .. figure:: /bi_sql_editor/static/description/04_materialized_view_setting.png
+     :width: 800 px
+
+* Finally, click on 'Create UI', to create new menu, action, graph view and
+  search view.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+To use this module, you need to:
+
+* Go to 'Reporting' / 'Custom Reports' 
+
+* select the desired report
+
+  .. figure:: /bi_sql_editor/static/description/05_reporting_pivot.png
+     :width: 800 px
+
+* You can switch to 'Pie' chart or 'Line Chart' as any report,
+
+  .. figure:: /bi_sql_editor/static/description/05_reporting_pie.png

+   :alt: Try me on Runbot
+   :target: https://runbot.odoo-community.org/runbot/143/8.0
+
+Known issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+* Add 'interval', after type (row/col/measure) field for date(time) fields.
+
+* Dinamically change displayed action name to mention the last refresh of the
+  materialized view.
+
+* Create ir.rule to limit access. (for company_id for exemple)
+
+Note
+====
+
+The syntax of the sql request has the following constrains:
+
+* the name of the selectable columns should be prefixed by `x_`
+
+Sample:
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+    SELECT name as x_name
+    FROM res_partner
