Difference between Oracle Discoverer and ReportsBuilder

Hi Everybody,
I have a question concerning the differences between the two reporting solutions offered by Oracle : Oracle Discoverer Desktop and Oracle Reports Developer.
I am wondering if both of them support OLAP data, if they allow reports publishing (through a web server) and if they have an SDK kit.
Should we prefer one solution over another or each one has its own domain of use
Thanks for your answer

hi lee,
discoverer is an end-user based tool for querying data. basically
an administrator prepares an environment that the end-user can
easily select his query without knowing anything about the technologies.
discoverer is available on the web (iAS) as well as on client/server (iDS).
reports is a powerful enterprise reporting tool which provides the
end-user a ready to use reports. basically a reports developer can
base a report on any datasource and you can get the output in any format
you like. report has open api's and powerfurl frameworks to extend the
out of the box functionality. you can design reports for paper based
reporting to produce output or you can design reports for the web.
reports is capable of dealing with mass data and for that fully scalable.
this was just a high level introduction.
find much more information about the product on OTN

christian

  • Important differences between oracle 10g and 11g

    Hi friends, can anyone tell me (pointwise) what are the major (and minor) differences between Oracle 10g and 11g.
    Please point me to some documents if possible.
    Thanks in advance

    The name of the link says it all: "top_features."
    In short it is Oracle's list of what they have for marketing and sales reasons designated "top features."
    It is not intended to be, and is not, a complete list of features. Often the features Oracle does not
    talk about are the most important.
    Let me give you some examples. I have never seen Oracle announce DBMS_XPLAN as a new feature
    yet you should not run an explain plan without it. Neither have I ever seen Oracle announce the new
    NO_DATA_NEEDED predefined exception. I have listed literally hundreds of new features you will not
    find in Oracle's new features docs.
    I did a presentation at OpenWorld this year as part of the unconference titled "New Features in
    Database 11gR2 that Oracle will not announce." It was easy to prepare a one hour presentation with
    little fear of being proved incorrect. As I turned out only one of the features I presented was mentioned
    by Oracle.
    You can find the presentation slides here:

  • Differences between oracle 10gr2 and 11gr2 warehouse bulider

    Hi All,
    Could you please let me know the main differences between Oracle 10gr2 and Oracle 11gR2 warehouse builder.
    Also , it would be great if anyone point me to the document where i can see the major differences.
    Thanks,
    Naveen.

    Hi Naveen,
    The major difference between OWB10gR2 and 11gR2 is the target RDBMS.
    In 10gR2 you have to use ORACLE as your target RDBMS (unless you are going for DB Gateways, that is a complete different story).
    Where as in 11gR2 allows you to use any RDBMS as your target system . This is achieved by Code-Template mapping.
    All is needed is that proper jdbc driver for the target system.
    Also 11gR2 supports OBIEE RPD creation and etc.

  • Differences between Oracle BAM and Oracle BI and Question BAM  Data Objects

    Hi,
    I have two questions.
    1. Can someone tell me differences between Oracle BAM and Oracle BI?
    My understanding about Oracle BAM is, we use BAM to build Dashboards or Reports.
    We can also build DashBoards or reports using Oracle BI.
    I am not able to understand why Oracle has two tools for same purpose?
    Which tool is more powerful and user friendly(Oracle BI or Oracle BAM)?
    2. Every time we plan to develop Dashboard or report in BAM, we need to create BAM ADC Data Object to store Data (i.e first step is to get data from external database or application and second step is to store data in BAM ADC data object).
    My understanding is we have an extra step(i.e creating Data Object) in Oracle BAM to develop a report or DashBoard
    I am wrong pl correct me?

  • Differences between Oracle Linux and CentOS

    Dear ALL
    I need differences between Oracle Linux and Cent OS, which is the better OS to install Oracle11gR2.
    Kindly send me the benefits and percentage if anybody can...
    Thanks.

    11gR2 is not certified to be installed on CentOS, so from that perspective alone, OEL is the only choice.

  • Difference between  Oracle 9i and 10 g

    What is the difference between Oracle 9i and 10g and also what is Grid Computing ?

    We are not here to read the docs for you. The grid docs are here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/grid/index.html
    One additional difference between 9i and 10g ...
    9i ends desupport July 31 of this year and then anyone using it is on their own unless they have an extended support ocntract.
    10g begins desupport August 1 of this year.
    Personally I wouldn't consider installing anything less than 11.1.0.7.

  • Difference between "Oracle9iAS Discoverer" and "Oracle9iDS Discoverer"?

    What is the difference between "Oracle9iAS Discoverer" and "Oracle9iDS Discoverer"? Thanks!

    9iAS is the application server. It is a bundle of software, one component of which is the Discoverer server.
    9iDS is the development software. Again, it is a bundle of software, one component of which is the Discoverer EUL administration tool.
    9iDS also contains a Windows-only Discoverer client, should you wish to use Discoverer in client-server mode (eg., for your power-power users or for development of very complex reports).
    In order to use Discoverer effectively you need to install 9iAS on the server (twice!) and 9iDS on the Discoverer administrator's machine. In this configuration, regular users need nothing more than a modest PC with a decent web browser.
