Report templates should be stored in a database because you can manage them. Certainly, you can place the report templates in files. As a developer and as an end user, you can use the Report Explorer component to manage the reports in the database through an easy to use visual interface. There are extensive demos showing how to do this using different databases in our RBuilder\Demos\EndUserDatabases\ directory. There is a directory for Orcale which you can use to run ReportBuilder and create reports and save them to the Oracle database. There is a Readme.doc in that directory which you should go through for specifics on using Oracle in the end user solution.
