Riaz,

Discoverer 3.0 is a front-end tool from Oracle for doing
On-Line Analytic Processing (OLAP) on Data Warehouses and Data Marts.
I believe that it requires a star schema.

Are you building a DW or a DM and in need of an OLAP front-end?

Discoverer/2000 3.0 is the Oracle ROLAP-Tool. It's new on the market.
This is the successor of Discoverer/2000 Browser 2.x and Data Query -
now an integrated product to do the report and analysis up on a Data
Warehouse DB. Discoverer 3.0 consist of the Administration Edition,
the User Edition and the End User Layer to hide the complexity of the
DB. Take a look at Oracle's Web Site. I think there is some stuff.
There is also a trial version on the ftp-server of Oracle.

it is the next version of Discoverer 2000 ( or Browser V2)
An end user query tool. V2 is simple but powerful. V3 is a completely
different product from the end user perspective, that from the demo i
saw should eclipse the more comple Oracle Express product.

This is simply the next version of Oracle Browser 2.0 and Data Query
roled into one.

The following is a bit of an oversimplification. Discoverer V3 is a
total new rewrite. It is 32 bit only and is really only a Data Query
replacement. It would compete directly with Business Objects. In my
opinion it is a peer to V4 of that product, each having their own
advantages and disadvantages.

My understanding of Browswer is that it has bowed out of the end-user
market (where I don't think it was much of a hit) and exists only in
development environments. My further understanding is that its
technology (i.e. the UI) will be subsumed into the other products.
