This looks to be quite feasible. Reports can be created two ways
in Base: using the Report Wizard, and using Design View (Create Report
using Design View). The latter uses what was originally the Sun Report
Builder.
Here is a couple of links that might be of use when creating
reports in design view:
http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=sunreportbuilderguidebook.pdf&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
is a link to a PDF describing how to use the report builder.
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=39095
is a link to describe how to create user defined functions. (You may not
need this for you problem, but it may come in handy later.
LibreOffice Base uses HSQLDB. Presently, Base 3.4.4 uses version
1.8. Version 2.2.6 is available as a separate program. The following
link will begin the download of the HSQLDB Guide for version 1.8.
