Report customization nightmare

[Anthony Dardis]

With the upcoming sql data storage, it should (?) be possible to use tools  
like

http://datavision.sourceforge.net/

(I've never used this particular program, it's just the first one that  
popped up in Google. If it's anything like the report writer in Access, a  
non-programmer can put together a report with a certain amount of effort.   
I'm with Gour on Scheme: I spent a semester once using Lisp, but I'm more  
inclined to improve my C to work on GnuCash than to get up to speed on  
Scheme.)
