Evergreen uses Postgres as it's database so you can generate statistics
similar to Koha with db access and the code will be pretty similar to what
Cab posted for Koha (db structure and syntax varies of course).
Additionally, Evergreen has a built in reporter that provides an
abstraction layer for the staff client to run reports off the database.
Finally, option three is that you can always connect an external reporting
tool like Jasper reports.
