	I am using ORACLE version 6.0.26.8.1 on VAX-8600 running Ultrix. 
	
	I happen to heard about the ORACLE product SQLGRAPH, which could be
	
	used for drawing graphs using SQL.I haven't used that product myself, 
	
	as it is available only on VAX-VMS so far.Since you already have ORACLE 
	
	running you may try SQLGRAPH of ORACLE.

  The best fit for what you are looking for is probably Oracle*Graphics
  (as far as products from Oracle goes). It runs under X-Windows and should
  be able to handle all your charting needs. It also allows you to monitor
  the changes made to the data dynamically. Your display can be showing a
  pie chart based off of tables that are changing and the chart changes at
  the same time. I have only seen it running on a Sun, but I believe other
  platforms are available. Hope this helps,
