[ale] Recomendation for GUI frontend to MySQL

[Armsby John-G16665]

Try a web search on hyperion.  We use it here for oracle queries.  If you bomb out, repost and I will try to find the venor.  We also used to call it "brio".  Users here were very successfully in creating inaccurate reports because they did not understand tables, relationships, etc.  GUI is nice however.  IT loved it as there was no work for them to do.

Speaking of interfaces to the DB is there any good reporting interface that runs on Linux.  Could be similar to Crystal Reports.  Web based would be great.

I want to give people the ability to write their own reports.  Problem is that we have almost 20 tables with id's and mappings so to generate a meaningful report requires complex SQL to join tables and to cull out other stuff.
