John,

    One last point to add to my reply of before.  They don't support HP-UX,
actually I don't think they support any Unix.

Our Data Warehouse group uses Cognos PowerPlay to build cubes for
the end users, and Cognos Impromptu for on-line drill-down and
reporting.

IMHO, Cognos writes crappy SQL.  The users say they cannot insert
hints, so you have to be ready for almost any kind of query.

It's got a nice GUI, though, they tell me.

Cheers,
Mike

Anybody have any experience with "Cognos"?  We've got a bhb that thinks its
the solution for giving every end user access to the raw data
(groan...loudly!)...  I've argued every which-a-way against the concept, now
I have to fight the specifics....

HELP!
