Report Builder (The Hidden Gem)

People may or may not realise that a report builder is included with
ColdFusion since version 7. Along with this report design tool, comes some
additional ColdFusion tags to allow you to incorporate full featured
reporting into your application without additional expense. While Report
Builder is not as rich featured as Crystal Reports or similar, it provides
all the necessary components to create reports, and being part of ColdFusion
the code and syntax used within reports is ColdFusion code that will
familiar to you all.

So if you either don't know about the Report Builder or have never has a
chance to play with it, this introduction will get you started. Things
covered will include

1.    Designing a Report (No Code)

2.    General Reporting Concepts, grouping, totalling etc.

3.    Passing a Query into a Report

4.    Generating a Report silently to a PDF

5.    Printing a Report silently to a local printer.
