1053.0. "Reporting Tools with RDB" by NEMAIL::SOL () Tue Dec 31 1991 19:09

    I was wondering what user reporting tools are availble that work 
    well with RDB.  I know of third party tools like FOCUS etc... but
    I was more concerned about tools that Digital has developed.
    
    thanks,

Re: .1
Simon,

None of the products you mentioned is a  R E A L  End-user Reporting
tool. All of them statrted as something else, and have added some reporting 
capabilities later. 

Re: .0

'APTUSER' is a Product of an Israeli Company. It's primary role is
End-user Reporting from Rdb. It is very popular in Israel, and has some 
customers in Europe.

The product is in DEC Price list in Israel. We sell it out of Israel as well.

Contact Emil Abergel @ISO for more details.

Regards,

Arie Levy

1053.7Great product, but not a report writerNOVA::WASSERMANDeb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863Fri Jan 03 1992 21:598
    Re: .-1.  Thank you for the advertisement for InstantSQL, and while I
    would certainly encourage everyone to experiment with it (and tell all
    your customers about it :-)), I wouldn't exactly call it a "reporting
    tool", any more than interactive SQL is a reporting tool.  InstantSQL
    is interactive SQL, transposed into a graphical paradigm (to use the
    favorite word-of-the-month).  It can certainly run simple or complex
    queries, and output the results to a text file that you can print, but
    a report-generator, not really.
