Re: Report tools for Oracle?

I am on a team currently evaluating data access tools for a large enterprise...while I cannot share the conclusions ( we haven't reached any, yet ) I can say that you should look closely at Crystal Reports 7 - their Query Server/Query Client combo seems to be one of the easiest methods I've seen for interactive web-based database querys and their reporting tools are top notch....
Impromptu is also a solid product, as are Business Objects and Platinum's InfoReports..
