That's what I really mean I guess - an independent GUI-based report

designer that will connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Firebird, couple

others, maybe even MSSQL, producing portable report definition files

that can probably rendered to PDF by a seperate renderer, which in turn

can be leveraged by whatever language.

I can't believe there aren't scads of them out there in Linux land

already. Maybe they're too hard to write.
