Alex,
Is Datavision on your list?

   http://datavision.sourceforge.net/

I have been using it, but its development is dormant (nothing since 
mid-2008) and it still has some bugs.  What there is of documentation is 
pretty disorganized and has plenty of gaps.  Even so, for me it is much 
more productive than ORB.

I also understand KDE4's Calligra office suite has a database report 
builder.  I am working on upgrading now and when I am done with that, I 
plan to investigate Calligra's report builder.
