Subject: Business Objects Vs Oracle Reports for batch reports

We are embarking on a big project which has a quite few number of mandated reports to be produced in batch. We are using Business Objects ( crystal enterprise ) for all our online/adhoc reporting needs. It is a J2EE application.

We are in the process of deciding which reporting tool we should use for Batch. I tried to look it up on the web; all the posts regarding comparisons are really old and I do not whether it is relevant any more or not.

My main issue is performance; how BO fares with Oracle Reports. I heard BO does the joins on the client side; my knowledge in BO is very limited. On the other there is a pressure to keep the whole reporting environment uniform ( BO every where ). My main concern as a DBA is performance; I do not want to end up with a product which inherently has performance limitations.

Any comments, pointers or white papers are of great help.

Thanks in advance

http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l We use BO for our datawarehouse and have good performance. In our implimentation we don't see client side joins. Sure sometimes I need to get involved to tweek the SQL, but nothing unusual. You might look at infoburst (www.infosol.com) for report distribution. Is it better or worse than Oracle Reports? I don't know. Jim
