I need to generate reports from data in an Oracle database, either
using PRO*C or the DBkit or both.  I have form letters that I need
to poke information into.  The current implementation on another 
system works fine with standard mailmerge commands.  What's a good
way to do this?  Hook up a text object to scan for <<labels>> and 
insert data?  Perl?  OraPerl?  Commercial or public objects? WriteNow?
I figured I could simply message WriteNow from my application and have
it do the merge and return the results, but their tech support says I
can't do that.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
