I’ve been doing some research on which tools I want to go with for my  
rails project. However, I’m not sure what would be the best utility for  
the site.

I have experience with Crystal Reports XI, but it appears to be very  
difficult to implement this with Rails.

I took a look at JasperReports with iReport and it looks very good for  
starters. I’ve also looked at RubyReports, but I’m not sure that’s what  
I’m really after.

Are there any folks out there using reporting services with rails, and  
if so, which hurdle did you climb and can you point me towards some  
solid resources out there or tutorials on the Subject Matter?

Many thanks.

JD

I suppose I should have probably outlined what I want to use reporting  
services for, as this might help isolate the searches or responses.

I’m going to be putting together weekly reports for football teams so  
there’s 120 teams, 120 reports, each week.
