database.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Why not add the reports to your ror application?

Hi Colin,

Thanks for the reply. I did not get exactly what you mean by "add the 
reports". My people here in the company want me to search for a 
reporting tool(an open source) through which we can generate reports. 
MySQL is our database.

I meant you to write code in the application to generate the reports you 
want.

Oh, you mean a general purpose reporting tool.  I have no personal
experience of those with rails but googling for
ruby rails report generator
seems to generate lots of useful looking hits.

Hi Gutham,

     I have integrated one reporting tool for my intranet RoR 
application.
I think it will be useful for you. That reporting tool name is 
will_filter.
It is rails engine. And following is the link for the documentation 
about
that engine

         https://github.com/berk/will_filter

Thanks & regards,
  VIjay

Thanks Vijay,

I am having a look in to it.And do you have any idea about any open 
source free BI (Business Intelligence) Tools?

FusionCharts makes a free version you can use.  High Charts is another
solution although it is not free.  It is however pretty robust, not very
expensive, and covers a lot of ground.  The Google visualization api 
looks
very promising too. There are some others.  google away...
