Open question for the hive mind: I have a major development underway on an existing bespoke MySQL database; at the end of which we will need an end-user reporting tool a la Crystal reports, but Open Source and preferably without recurring commercial licence fees.
I've started to short-list, but I welcome any yay's or nay's or other suggestions from practical experience. Free: Datavision http://datavision.sourceforge.net/ dmyreports - Dynamic MySQL Reports - http://sourceforge.net/projects/dmyreports/ One-off/small fees: MySQL Reports http://mysqlreports.com/ DBFacePHP http://www.dbfacephp.com/purchase/ MyDBR http://mydbr.com/download Reports Maestro http://reportsmaestro.com/ Going down the Business Intelligence route, I arrive at BIRT http://www.eclipse.org/birt/ ReportServer http://reportserver.net/en/ which are both BI suites which starts to get complex. Pentaho, Datapin, Ubiq and Jasper fall into the commercial arena with recurring annual or monthly licencing. Begin your abuse below. -- Rgds RC Robin Catling Full Circle Podcast
