Oh sorry, I should have been more precise, though of course this _is_ an oracle tools list, eh?

We have Oracle 8i already bought and paid for (and installed and running and all that). We also have data for which the oracle specific "connect by" construct in a "natural". At some point, the analytic functins plus rollup and cube will probably turn out to be just what they're looking for, so yeah, it has to be Oracle.
