Gregor, your comments serve as a testimonial to support my
position against using many of these vendor-supplied toolkits.
Some of them are OK, but many not.  People insist on the DBMS
vendors building stuff for them, but then we get the mess that
you've described.  For this reason I continue to recommend at
least consideration for integration with tools that are outside
of the  DBMS.  DBMS vendors should be focusing on making superior
databases, not XML, web services, or a lot of this other fluff.
People in the open source and commercial markets spend a great
deal of time focused on  these things, and because of this, their
offerings are often much better.  So take a look around and weigh
other offerings against the built-in functionality.  It would be
nice to see people here comparing more toolkits - it might save
others from feeling like they're stuck with whatever is provided
by the DBMS vendors.
