All of the major players in the business database world have report writing software that they will sell you to interact with their data, and there are a number of commercial packages that interact with a variety of databases. However, there are also several Open Source solutions. Today we’ll take a look at OpenRPT, the report writing solution from xTuple, who has other Open Source offerings, as well.

  • Report Definitions are saved in the industry standard XML format
  • Stand-alone or Embeddable WYSIWYG Report Designer
  • Embeddable Report Renderer renders to local printers, including PDF and Postscript distillers
  • Support for All/Even/Odd/First/Last Page Headers and Footers
  • Support for Multiple Column Detail Sections
  • Support for static and database sourced images
  • Support for static and/or database sourced watermarks and page identifiers
  • Support for multiple detail sections and optional, multiple group heads and footers for each detail section
OpenRPT supports most major operating systems and most major databases, though some of them require more work than others.  Although OpenRPT is not free, the pricing is reasonable and the Open Source architecture makes customization easy.
