Our company has a product called macControl which is a client/server, EIS, DSS application building environment. In many ways, it resembles a spreadsheet, but with an integrated multidimensional database for storing your information, and powerful automatic SQL generating capabilities, along with always allowing you the flexibility of writing your own SQL. It supports SQL*Net and DAL as middleware. It is used as the primary C/S development tool by many large companies such as Bayer, Tetra Pak, Miles, Armco, KPMG just to name a few. For more information, you call call or e-mail, or look at our new WWW site.(The Web site isn't complete yet but we will soon have more extensive downloadable documnetation and sample/tutorial applications.)
