hello,

    been using it against 3rd normal data and derived oracle objects, and has been invaluable to allowing end-users to accomplish their own queriers.

    much nicer than MS Access..... very much like business objects (i have used) but BO required you to set up the universe first.... with disco, i just set up a department and let it go.... disco 3i is really nice crystal reports is nice but it compares to oracle reports more

    if you are looking for an ad-hoc query tool, the disco is it..., but note: add oracle reports for fancy reports and layouts... not one tool does it all.....
