Re: BI / Reporting tools

I agree with the Sequel option. I was skeptical, but since using the
product, I really like it. You can get a one month trial and see if
it suits your needs. They have exceptional help desk support also.

Jamal, what do you mean by "provide better reporting"? Most of the comments
in this discussion are geared toward end-users needing tools. That begs the
question, are you more interested in a tool for end users? Or a tool for
developers?

Developers may just use in-the-box interfaces such as STRSQL and IBM i
Navigator to build SQL Views, while end-users may need "wizards" for
building and cataloging queries.

Do reports need to be part of a periodic process? Or just ad-hoc querying?
