db Reports is a cross platform report writing application that works on Mac
OS Classic, Mac OS X, and any Win32 platform. With db Reports, you can
extract, format and print data from one of various data sources*.

Using the built-in assistant, or the easy-to-use drawing environment, a
report can be built quickly and easily. db Reports also supports data
grouping and fully recursive expressions.

String, Math, and Logical (including IF) expressions make db Reports a
powerful tool for analyzing data. REALbasic developers can print reports in
their applications using templates saved by db Reports.

*Depending on platform, data sources may include: 4D Server 6.7, FrontBase,
mySQL, ODBC, OpenBase, Oracle, postgreSQL, REALDatabase, Valentina
