Take a look at SQL Server Reporting Services.

It's a charting and reporting tool over SQL Server (and I thinkg any other ODBC/OLEDB source), it works over large datasets, has both Web UI and desktop UI, and comes in the box with SQL Server itself.

FD: I work in SQL Server, athough not on Reporting Services. FWIW, Reporting is a huge success with our customers.

It is also available as a free download for developers to try it out and learn / test.

I have used SQL Reporting Services as well as Business Objects tools and I am pretty impressed with the latest releases from MS.
