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

dmyreports - Dynamic MySQL Reports -

One-off/small fees:
MySQL Reports

DBFacePHP

MyDBR

Reports Maestro

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.
