You're right though in saying that there's still a lot of activity and project work around the traditional tools - by far the majority of the work I do is around Discoverer, OLAP, OWB etc and I doubt that'll change in the near future, if only because the difference in pricing in the two BI Suite editions. Certainly Oracle will tell anyone that listens that Discoverer, OWB etc are still products undergoing development, but I think it's inevitable that, when it comes to blogs, articles and so on, people are going to focus on what's new and the latest thing - doesn't mean the old tools aren't still relevant though. regards Mark Hi Carl,

Many people and organizations have put large amounts of time and effort into building applications using these tools. I hope that I'm mistaken, but I'm afraid I'm not.
