[Quoted] [Quoted] I have a small business, and I am currently writing a software product with a view to selling it (via licensing) to potential customers. I am building the product using Java front end (Swing) + Java business layer.The backend database is Oracle (but I will bring out a second release that will run on any database).

I have not built any reports as yet...and I want to look at what reporting tools there are. Oracle Reports9i looks good in that it is RAD...but it seems that you have to buy the Oracle9iAS license ($47k???). Since my product will only sell at around $80K (if I am lucky)...then more than half of my revenue goes to Oracle...just for the reporting tool!
ANYONE KNOW OF OTHER REPORTING TOOLS THAT ARE MORE FINANCIALLY VIABLE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES???? Kind regards. Received on Sun Mar 09 2003 - 00:15:41 CET
