I'm assuming you mean an internet browser not Oracle Data Browser that is part of the Developer 2000 series...

Ad hoc reporting is the perfect task for Oracle Data Browser. Although you claim they wish to avoid client software on desktops, but that is Browser's strongpoint.

I have not heard of SQL*Plus being used in a browser environment. Has anyone else?
