I don't know what the tool is like today, but can say that in previous
releases it should only have been used by DBAs. It used to make some really
counter-productive design decisions regarding performance. Do not let
ignorant people this tool unless you have oversight. I had a entry-level
developer at a Fortune 100 company bring the database to it's knees through
a combination of arrogance and ignorance. (Ignorance = not knowing what you
don't know.) The reasoning? If OWB did it, it must be right.

Hi carol I'm currently on site for a dwh project that uses owb
extensively. It isn't an end user tool, or for that matter one for
people who don't have good dw development experience to use to develop
things in. It does do the job fairly well though - although the
generated code can be hard to read. It also really really likes memory
on the workstation of the developers budget on at least 2gb each. It
does use oracle features. It does do auditing.
