database ad hoc queries

I'm not too clear on this myself so please bear with..

my company is installing a novell netware network and and Oracle database server at a site

the client wants the ability to do ad hoc queries on the database without paying for a DBA to do it via SQL.

this is a v7 oracle database.

this client is looking for window applications to give their users the ad hoc database query capability, they have mentioned two:

1. WordPerfect Informs, which has the ability to grab information out of Oracle tables.
2. Forest and Trees I've never heard of this windows application, not sure what it does.

anyway, I am looking for anyone with experience with Oracle and either of these ad hoc windows applications, simply looking for pluses or minuses for either or both, e-mail me your experiences.

is there a better windows application to do what I want that I have not discovered yet ?

thanks
