application) There are several Reporting Tools
Oracle IBM Microsoft Open Source

The anatomy of a BIRT Report
Data Databases (and web services, Java objects etc.)
Data Transforms Reports present data sorted, summarized, filtered and grouped to fit the
user's needs. BIRT allows sophisticated operations such as grouping on sums, percentages of overall totals etc
Business Logic Many reports require business-specific logic to convert raw data into
information useful for the user. Presentation
Once the data is ready, BIRT provides a wide range of options for presenting it to the user: tables, charts, text and more.
A single data set can appear in multiple ways, and a single report can present data from multiple data sets.
How to use BIRT to create a Report
Introduction Creating a Report Brief UI Tour Building a Data Source Building a Data Set Building a Table Testing Your Report

You can “easily” integrate a database in “BIRT” application BIRT from http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/ is coming with a Sample
Database BIRT provided by the course, too!
