Hi,
You are right , Oracle 8i and Oracle Express are 2
different products.
In Oracle 9i, Oracle will integrated OLAP server
capabilities called OLAP Services, like Microsoft ;-)
I'm not sure that OLAP tools are the answer to your
needs. OLAP tools are used to stored data in a cube
format to slice and dice the data not to explore the
data or handle massive storage.
If you're looking for a tool to do industrial strenght
reporting, go with Brio. It beats all the other
products for massive reports, on the negative side
it's not as nice looking as Business Objects or
Cognos.
