One of my open-source projects is PDF::ReportWriter. You can get it at http://entropy.homelinux.org/axis_not_evil/ It's written in Perl, is cross-platform, and exports direct high-quality PDFs ( with the help of PDF::API2 ). There is no 'development environment' as yet - you have to write your report definition in code, but in my defense, it's not particularly hard to do :) After you've written the report definition, you load an array of data ( eg from a database query ), and pass it to PDF::ReportWriter. There's a simple example on the webpage, along with a screenshot of the output ( inside gpdf ). -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Report tool - Mysql
Hello, Depending the level of sophistication you require, you might want to take a look at: - JasperSoft (Open Source) - Crystal Reports - If you're running Microsoft Reporting Services somewhere in your shop, I think you can use it to plug into any JDBC compliant DB, but I might be wrong. If it's reports/documentation about your DB you are after you might want to check out Embarcadero's ERStudio, which is imho the best ERD tool on the market.
