[Quoted] [Quoted] We are building a system which requires the integration of a tool to support [Quoted] advanced users and administrators in defining and maintaining their own [Quoted] equations to flexibly compute site environmental, health and safety data requirements. The tool must:
[Quoted] [Quoted] * provide support for a mix of sampled data, user-defined variables and
constants, and other equations.
[Quoted] * provide support for time sensitive equations, variables and constants.

[Quoted]
• be able to compute results in real-time and when scheduled;

Allow user to specify the following attributes of an equation:
* Equation Name and Description;

• Equation version (to support time sensitive validity);
• User defined Variables;
• User defined Constants (to support time sensitive validity);
• Full range of arithmetic, statistical, scientific operators (need further specification); [Quoted]
• Inclusion of other equations;
• Parentheses to support ordered resolution of single equations;
• Ordering to support the evaluation for multi-component equations;
• Allow copy and paste of existing equations;
• On-demand or scheduled invocation;

Ideally, the stored equations will reside as PL/SQL.

Does such a tool exist?

Thanks and regards
