Delphi Reports Firebird Database

Hi, I'm new to Delphi. I'm probably biting off more than I can chew. Have some experience with Java and C++. I wish to develop a reports module to query a firbird database. I;m not quite sure where to start. I was wondering if anyone had a tutorial for the same or a demo of similar to get started from?

Delphi 7 im at. Also I want to create reports that can be viewed on screen and printed from the preview. Possibility to export to csv would be helpful too.
You can use a nice free component : http://fast-report.com/

Depending on your version of delphi 7 you may use crystal report
drop a report component (quickreport) on a form.
drop a queery on the form.
link your quickreport to your queery.
Link your qreport components to respective queery values and
place them on proper bands...and then
call  qreport1.preview on button click or whatever.
Then you can preview only or you can print it as well...
simple...
