I differ, It is not an application technology, it is realted to performance tuning of business intelligence applications. I was looking for Oarcle BI groups, did not find any, so posted here.

SAP has been smart not to tie their databases to one vendor, so even though Otracle is my favorite database, SAP undesrtands that there are other databases (if I am not mistaklen SAP supports seven different databases..). Received on Mon Nov 10 2008 - 13:08:26 CST
