RE: Electronic Laser Forms - Any recommendations?

Ron:

   I think they are fishing for money. Oracle9iAS does have Oracle reports bundled in as part of the Internet Development Suite. However, IDS is a separate product. I can't believe Oracle will cut their own throats by removing this tool.

Thank You

My Oracle rep tells me that Oracle Reports is being phased out as a stand-alone product and will be bundled into 9iAS in the near future, thus increasing the cost to implement a simple reporting solution.

We're looking for a simple reporting solution and are now a bit reluctant to go with the current Oracle Reports.

Anybody know of any reporting tools that run on Linux?
