I've just tried to draw a chart for "select object_type,count(*) from
all_objects group by object_type having count(*)>500" with chart type
"BAR_VERT_CLUST" but I just get a blank chart with the ojbect types at
the bottom, the counts in a margin with associated colors, but no
colored bars at all.

Any idea? I'm ashamed but I have to admit that I haven't really read
the f* manual. ;-)

Well you could try reading the manual, but there isn't anything useful.
SQLDeveloper charts are pretty but limited.

For some reason you have to have three columns. Look at the object
distribution report provided for an example.
Thanks Jim.
You're right, it works with "select object_type,object_type,count(*)
from
all_objects group by object_type,object_type having count(*)>500" !!

Well, that's you. I prefer tools with a text UI. In fact I use
SQL*PLus most of the time. :-)

Any suggestions about existing tools are welcome, but please make sure
that they are capable of working with large databases (hundred of
tables and terabytes of data).
The data volume in the DB is irrelevant (unless you plan to draw
terabyte reports, which I doubt any client tool will handle
gracefully).

Not 100% what you want but at least has support for table and column
name as well as keyword completion, which allows reasonable fast
creation of queries. No graphical output but support for several
databases among them oracle (with plan and other statistics display)
and it's cross platform.

Kind regards
