Hello,
I will be starting a new job, and the company that I
will be working for needs to know which software to
purchase now. I will be writing very complex reports
for an insurance company on an Oracle 9i database.
That is all I know right now. Which software do I need
to buy? All my company has is the Oracle DB itself and
nothing else as far as I know. I will end up being the
DBA as well, so I will need everything.
I am guessing that I would need:
- SQL
- SQL Plus
- Oracle Reports
- Oracle Discoverer (would this be better than Oracle
Reports?)
- TOAD or SQL Navigator (I used these before and really liked TOAD)
- Oracle Designer (at my last job, the DBA there used
Oracle Designer and using this he could print out the
whole database layout graphically showing the tables
and fields and relationships between tables)
- DBA Studio (not sure about this - someone mentioned
it me)
Anything else and which versions? I haven't worked in
Oracle in a long time so I don't know the latest
versions or software.
Thank you in advance,
Susan

Susan,
Do you want to build web based reports or just internal reports. For web-based reports, I suggest you go for reports builder 9i and to host these reports you would need 9iAS.
But if you are just looking at building reports internally as in an client/server architecture, I suggest you go for reports builder 6i. You can even build internal reports with 9i.
For both you would need to buy the Internet developer Suite.
You can go for the latest version ensuring it will be supported for longer.
I can send you some documentation for iDS , 9iAS. Just let me know what you want.
Cheers!

I started a DBA job recently too. I need to produce some regular (not complicated) reports for the users. We run Oracle 9i databases. The users have some requirement about the reports:
1. Automatically produces the weekly/monthly reports at off-peak time.
2. Users can customize some specific reports by themselves, for example, about the monthly reports, users want to produce the report about transactions processed in June but not August.
What tool should I choose? Thanks..
Jadie
