Ok, colleagues; this is a genuine request, not an attempt to start a flame war.
Does anyone have experience of OWB vs. Informatica? Or white papers or independent comparisons?
The warehouse is likely to be built on an Oracle 8173 or 9201 database; and reported on using Business Objects. We have comprehensive skills available in these areas, but no previous in-house experience of either ETL tool.

Thanks in advance,
