I'm new to BIRT. I know it has a java based reporting engine. Can this engine talk to SQL Server and pull data? Thanx in advance.

+2  A: 

It can talk to anything that has a JDBC driver. MS SQL is supported: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx

The commercial version of BIRT from Actuate provides native SQL Server drivers.

I've used jTds http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ from java to MS-Sql before, with good results.
