Babu,
Hadn't ever heard of the tool. Funny that they're listing a visit to
IOUG-A, but have never been mentioned in the Oracle or Select mag's. Anyway, I
looked the site over and it is "interesting" at best. We have a similar though
not identical product from Cognos called PowerPlay. As I read their web site,
they extract the data from the database, create the analog of Oracle's
Materialized views, and then allow the database, via ODBC aka Oracle's
Heterogeneous services, to query their proprietary database. Kinda of makes you
wonder why you spend all that money on Oracle in the first place!! At least
PowerPlay does not act as a database add-on. You extract the data from the
database into one of their CUBES that you then access from their proprietary
front end.
Personal opinion (no reflection on the opinions of the management or anyone
else here at Vicor) is that it's just an expensive add-on to the database that
really speaks to a need for a better designed database in the first place. It
looks to me like a case of throwing money at a problem in the hopes that it will
go away.
