Adhoc Reporting tool for mySQL?

[txwylde]

Is there an Open Source reporting tool for mySQL? I would need it to run on Mac OS X. I have a few I am looking at but they are very hard to configure and use. It would be nice to have something like Business Objects or Crystal Reports. (There is a Business Objects version for the OS X but my boss does not want to spend $25K on a reporting tool.)

Thanks!
Bill

you could try pentaho,

http://www.pentaho.org,

it is very powerful but not a piece of cake to use.

Pentaho uses Mondrian muldidimensional OLAP engine, a good and established project, on sourceforge since a few years ago.
