Subject: [ruby-talk:19657] [ANN] DataVision database reporting application

DataVision is a database reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports, written
in Ruby. Multiple database backends (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL)
and front ends (LaTeX (therefore PDF, etc.), XML, comma- and tab-separated
data files, DocBook, and HTML) are supported.

DataVision uses XML files to describe reports. Reports can both load and
save XML report files.

There is no GUI yet, though I plan to write one. The GUI will allow you to
manipulate the report description visually and will save the report
definition out to an XML file.

The home page of DataVision is
http://www.io.com/~jimm/downloads/datavision/. DataVision may also be found
on SourceForge.
