RPT was great stuff. In addition to SELECT statements it could do full
DML, DDL, and DCL (I think.) Like Unix it was just particular on who it
was friendly with. :-)  Then there was RPT2C. Now there's perl. 

Eschewing the pointy-clicky stuff.

The RPT & RPF Oracle class was what made me go looking very quickly for
a batch Oracle tool.  Then I found SQR. (This was all before PL/SQL and
the current versions of Oracle Reports).  We bought it and the rest was
history. Why Oracle didn't buy SQR when they had a chance amazes me.
