Generating reports from database

I'm searching some package that allows to, from a SQL query to a database,
generate and send to printer and screen a report (sales detail, stock
report, etc.).

Somebody is doing something like this? Experiences?

Thank you!

What platform (e.g. Windows/Linux, ...)

On Windows it is nearly impossible to write something better
than Crystal Reports or Active Reports programs. They
are very flexible.

But if you don't already own either of these products, this can be costly.

Check out RPV (www.rpvreport.com). It's a report engine that takes a
more simplistic approach to producing reports than Crystal. For around
$40-$50, you can purchase the product and distribute the runtime to ALL
of your clients royalty free.

I have used RPV from many Python and Ruby apps and it works great.
