The Oracle Data Browser is a pretty good standalone product. But, it doesn't have any API nor does it integrate to any of the other products in Oracle's Cooperative Development Environment (CDE) :) A good/better choice is a product called Applix. Call them at 1-800-8Applix. We are using their integrated Database Interface (over Oracle, Sybase, etc), word processor, graphics, spreadsheet, and mail.
