A few clicks on OTN, and you can find almost anything.

Subject: Re: SQR / Hyperion SQR Production Reporting
I have to state that I am not a fan of SQR having seen it misused to produce
incredibly simple, comprehensible but hugely inefficient reports.
On the plus side, i.e. in terms of answering your query in a useful manner,
before its aquisition by Brio/Hyperion/Oracle, it was licenced to
other companies as a built in report function.
Amongst these compaies, were Maximo (Maintenance management system.) and
Peoplesoft.
It would be my expectation, that it would still be bundled with these products,
and while I wouldn't expect that Oracle would still be promoting it or selling
it as an individual product, they may still bundle it with Peoplesoft for
backward compaability.

Many (many) years ago I used a report writer product called SQR, which in those

procedural language. It was marketed as a report writer, but in fact that was
selling it drastically short of its true abilities.
