NO ONE GETS REPORTS FROM THEIR DATABASES???

NO ONE GETS REPORTS FROM THEIR DATABASES???

Post by Michael Ka » Thu, 16 Dec 1993 16:49:28



A week ago I posted the plea that appears below.  The replies I received
were certainly helpful, but there were only five of them.  Now the forests
are still diminishing as trees are turned to paper, and I've seen all those
stacks of greenbar, so I know there are more of you generating reports than
that!  

Please folks, offer some guidance.

Thanks.

================================================================

Can anyone offer offer their experience with reportwriters that work with
the following:

      RdB      Ingres      Oracle
      Sybase   RMS         ADABAS

Of particular interest to me would be answers to the following:

     1. How did you justify to management spending the incremental $
        on a 3rd-pty product when a report writer was already available
        in the vendor's product?
     2. Why did you choose the product you did?
     3. Would you recommend this generator for use on a medium-sized net
        with a mix of VAXen, workstations, and PCs?
     4. What level of support do you get from your vendor?
     5. Have you any other suggestions to offer?

Thanks in advance.  All donations of knowledge gratefully accepted.
