All of this is now known, oxymoronically, as 'Business Intelligence'.

IIRC, Express had two part - olap/cube server and client. I would check Oracle's discussions on Discoverer and BI Beans for the client side. On the Olap/Cube server, Oracle seems to be moving the Express functionality into the database in one of two areas: extensions to basic SQL functionality and the OLAP option.

In all cases, I'd suggest you check the OTN site where there is an absolute wealth of information and white papers (if you can find it). Use these steps to follow the white rabbit

Start at http://otn.oracle.com,
Under Resources (left side), click on Products (center), click on the Database "tab"
Under In-depth information (right), click on Business Intelligence & Data Warehousing
(this will have taken you to
http://otn.oracle.com/products/bi/content.html) Under Business Intelligence Components (right), click on the topic of interest
