[BNM] SQL reporting

[paul perrin]

It depends on which SQL you are using - MS SQLServer reporting services are
very good for SQLServer, but takes some serious setting up.

If the clients are Windows, then In order of preference I'd probaly look
at:-
1) Desktop client for existing DB.
2) ODBC driver for DB - into Access, Excel, MSQuery or whatever.
3) Feed to the desktop in XML, CSV or MDB.
4) Export to desktop in one of those formats.
5) Bespoke SQLServer Express solution.
