May I suggest DataVision (
http://datavision.sourceforge.net)? From the Web
site:
"DataVision is a database reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports.
Reports can be viewed and printed from the application or output as
HTML, LaTeX2e, XML, DocBook, or tab- or comma-separated text files.
From the LaTeX2e and DocBook output files you can in turn produce PDF,
text, HTML, PostScript, and more.
"Report descriptions are stored as XML files. This means you can not
only use the DataVision GUI, but you may also edit reports using your
favorite text editor.
"DataVision is written in Java. It runs under Linux, Windows, various
flavors of BSD and Unix, and Mac OS X. It can generate reports from
Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Informix, hsqldb, Microsoft Access, and any
other database with available JDBC drivers."
Oh yeah...I wrote it. I've been developing it under Mac OS X for the last
six or eight months.
