Crystal Reports is a popular report writer, especially when Microsoft bundled it with Visual Studio 2008. Crystal Reports allows users to graphically design data connection(s) and report layout. In the Database Expert, users can select and link tables from a wide variety of data sources, including Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Oracle databases, Business Objects Enterprise business views, and local file system information.
