Steve:

Really? I was looking at DataVu for UniData and I understood that I did need to SQL'ize all my data. So, if I hosted a number of accounts I'd have to go through the entire process of figuring how to duplicate the accounts for SQL file access, keep them all straight, and fight with all that this entails.

Are you sure I misunderstood this?

Thanks,

Bill Haskett

If my goal was to teach a fairly savvy computer user to get data out of U2
into, lets say Excel... without the user coming to ask me to write some
query for them...

What would be the pros/cons of doing the ODBC way, vs. doing it the DataVu
way?

Forgive my ignorance... Does that make sense?

I'm not entirely sure on what you want here?

DataVu (the free Query and paid Report&  Dashboard products) are querying,
reporting and dashboard tools whereas ODBC is just an interface.

Is there a comparison chart of DataVu vs. ODBC?

I am planning on investigating both for reporting purposes, but, I was just
curious if there was anything out there that listed the pros and cons of
both in a nice little table.

Is this a licensed product?  Or does it come with the U2 licenses we
have purchased?

Since DataVu Query recently came up here, I thought I should let you
all know we have just released a new version of the free DataVu
Query tool
(v2.0.1)

We have introduced new capabilities to combine your queries and
results.
  You can filter and quickly create charts with just a couple of clicks.
Also, a new quick start wizard guides you through the steps to
connect to your U2 data so you can quickly get up and running with
U2 DataVu Query. You can download this from our downloads page.

Don't forget we have videos available on U2DevZone on the 'Accelerate'
page.

The odbc way requires you to use VSG to normalize your U2 data.
DataVue does not.
