I have a little beef with Apex, formerly HTML DB I believe.

Some years back - Oracle had a tool that you could use with the database for building web apps. I can’t remember the name to be honest… Anyways, it was promoted just like HTML DB and Apex. Next release though it became Oracle Portal and required a middleware license (along with pretty much anything else at the time… they must have been really struggling to sell those).

So would I use Apex? Well I haven’t done it yet.

Crystal Reports is the ultimate in empire building. Write one report in it and you have a job for life because nobody will want to touch it. :)

I’m sure it’s improved since I last used it… Probably… :)

Cheers

Neat feature! I guess there are a bunch of people using simple implementations of Business Objects and Discoverer who could easily use this instead.

Cheers

As a child I was told that “if you don’t have something nice to say then you shouldn’t say anything at all” … ha ha ha.

Thanks Andy.

Ah. The wonders of RSS. You go offline for a while (well 6 months) and Google Reader politely tells me you have surfaced again. Welcome back.
