RE: User Query Tools

[Kevin Lange]

We use Cognos as a user report tool.  They seem to like it.   You can build a library of reports for them or they can build their own.     Bad side .....  it does not make the most efficient SQL calls.   -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Andert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 5:52 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: User Query Tools Hey all,   I just got out from a meeting where I was told that some of our users are asking for a tool to do their own queries against our database so they wouldn't have to request reports and such from IS.  Oh BTW, they don't know (or feel the need to learn) SQL so they will be needing something with either a good GUI QBF or some kind of natural language interface.    We are leaning against MS Query to avoid ODBC performance problems.   Does anyone out there have users like this?  Any product referrals with pros/cons?    TIA   If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or drop me a note.   Stephen Andert 480-445-2506
