Rails - Jul 2010 - Rails Report Generator that can read associations

Howdoo everyone,

I''m looking for a Rails plugin or gem that can allow users to generate
very flexible reports.  Ideally, it should be able to:

1) Allow a user to select a model (from a list made by me) to generate a
report on.


2) Once they choose the model (say, Team), they''ll be able to choose
which Team fields to include in the report, such as team_name or
team_city.

Also, they''ll be able to choose fields from associated models; for
example, if a Team has many Players, they''ll be able to pick fields
from
Players to show in the report, such as last_name or went_pro_on.


3) They''ll be able to set criteria for what is shown in the report,
such
as only Teams with over 10 Players, or to only include Players with
last_name contains "blah".


4) Lastly (not as important), the ability to generate this report as a
CSV or PDF or what have you.


Does a plugin or gem exist that does all (or most) of this?  If so,
it''ll save a lot time.

Let me know if anyone knows of something like this.  Gracias!
