I'd like charts to be presented to my users. The users should be able to change which sets of data are displayed in the charts. What's the best way to go about this?

Thanks!

I'll add that what I'm thinking I will do is create a MySQL database with all the information, and then use either a Drupal module or some custom PHP script to display the data in tables. Showing a table of data is such a basic function, though, that I thought there might be a particularly good way to do it with Drupal, maybe even without the MySQL database, I don't know. Any ideas? Module recommendations?

Is there no good way to make a chart in Drupal? Should I look for a CMS better suited for this?

Creating charts isn't really the task of a CMS. Googling for "PHP charts" yields many possibilities; of the 60 millions results I would suggest jpGraph is the most mature; however it is does have some licencing issues.
