We use SQR. SQR has vesions for most DBMSs available in DOS, Windows, NT, Unix, and others. It is definitely for production reports (not ad-hoc end-user generated reports)¡_at_as it has its own reporting language. For 3GL programmers it is easy to learn and use. It can just about build and report that you can think of.

We build reports on Windows that are then executed from VB applications. We also use SQR on Unix with Sybase. The execution time for complex reports is much better then the Sybase Report Workbench.
