[Quoted] [Quoted] There are lots of them. In addition to Oracle Reports there is Oracle Discoverer, Seagate's Crystal product line, Cognos, Brio, and probably a dozen others.

[Quoted] But you have asked a question without providing any context. Do you need triggers to prepare the data? Do you need to execute procedures or use functions in the database? Are you a prorammer or end user? What platform (hardware and operating system version). How many reports? How complex? Web or client server? Do you need to do cross-tabs? Aggregations? Output as PDF?

[Quoted] Once again I ask the question ... Are we just supposed to guess? Why is it seemingly so hard for people to give a short paragraph of background when posting questions? Why? Why? Why?
