==Features==
===Report designer===

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 Database|Oracle]] databases, [[Microsoft SQL Server]] databases, [[Microsoft Access]] databases, [[Business Objects]] Enterprise business views, and local file system information. Fields from these tables can be placed on the report design surface, and can also be used in custom formulas, using either [[BASIC]] or Crystal's own syntax, which are then placed on the design surface. Formulas can be evaluated at several phases during report generation as specified by the developer.

Both fields and formulas have a wide array of formatting options available, which can be applied absolutely or conditionally. The data can be grouped into bands, each of which can be split further and conditionally suppressed as needed. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of [[Geographic information system|GIS]] functionality.

===Supported data sources===
* [[Database]]s such as [[PostgreSQL]], [[Adaptive Server Enterprise|Sybase]], [[IBM DB2]], [[Ingres (database)|Ingres]], [[Microsoft Access]], [[Microsoft SQL Server]], [[MySQL]], [[Interbase]], [[Btrieve]] and [[Oracle database|Oracle]]

* [[SAP ERP|SAP]]: BW, Info Sets, Tables, and [[Business Objects]] Universes

===Target audience===
Crystal Reports came integrated with [[Visual Studio]] versions prior to 2010. Crystal Reports competes with several products in the Microsoft market, such as [[SQL Server Reporting Services]], [[XtraReports]], [[ActiveReports]] and [[List & Label]]. Crystal Reports is also accessible outside of the Microsoft market, for instance allowing [[Java (programming language)|Java]] developers to build applications with Crystal Reports components.

Dream Report is a business intelligence application specifically developed for industry, currently marketed to discrete, hybrid and process industries by Ocean Data Systems. It is used to design and generate and distributereports from a wide range of data sources.[1]

History

Terry Cunningham and the Cunningham Group originated the software in 1991.[2] Crystal Services Inc. marketed the product[3] (originally called "Quick Reports") when they couldn't find a suitable commercial report writer for their accounting software.[citation needed] After producing versions 1.0 through 3.0, Crystal Services was acquired in 1994 by Seagate Technology.[4] Crystal Services was combined with Holistic Systems to form the Information Management Group of Seagate Software, which later rebranded as Crystal Decisions and produced versions 4.0 through 9.0. Crystal Decisions was acquired in December 2003 by Business Objects, which produced versions 10, 11 (XI) and version 12 (2008). SAP acquired Business Objects on October 8, 2007 and released Crystal Reports 2011 (version 14) on May 3, 2011.

Several other applications, including Microsoft Visual Studio versions 2003 through 2008, at one time bundled an OEM version of Crystal Reports as a general purpose reporting tool.[5] Microsoft discontinued this practice and later released their own competitive reporting tool, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).[6] [verification needed] Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 is still available as add-on software.
