I have a project where the (vague) requirements are that the end-user will be able to query our database through a web front end. Basically they'll be able to type in search criteria and the database will return a nice looking graph with all the requested results. The end user then wants to be able to "drill-down" by clicking on areas of the graph to get more detail for that section. From reading some documentation on it I think that Oracle Discoverer will allow me to do this, but I am unsure to what level. Does anyone have experience of doing something similar, and possibly a web-site example I could access to see it in action? We're using Oracle8i
Thank you in advance,
Matt

I have limited experience with Discoverer, but found it to be a little slow and clunky.
Good luck.

same here
Same experience here. Descoverer takes a lot of work to get right and allows the user to write adhoc queries against the database. Its an ugly tool that runs like a pig. The only place I worled where we used it, we ditched it.
