I've been a DB developer for many years, albeit on the PC side. Report writing was usually part of the tools, or, something easily found elsewhere in the PC world. Not so easily found on the Mac side though, hence my

A good report writer & designer that I can integrate into my own applications is
something that I've been missing for years for the Mac.
There are such things for the 4G packages that are available for the Mac
(Omnis, 4D, FileMaker Pro etc), but nothing for Cocoa apps AFAIK.

That's like asking for a report writer for C or C++ and their libraries.
Those are languages and frameworks in which you implement applications.
Obj-C and Cocoa are a language and a framework.

OTOH Omnis, 4D, FileMaker, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc are DB engines with GUI interfaces to help us implement our apps. So it is reasonable to provide tools for report writing in those.

Of course for the masochistic one could go back to RPG and mainframes<grin>.
