Rules Engine

[Malte]

I am looking for a rules engine, based on Oracle, that is as generic as
possible. I don't even know if such a beast exists.

The application area is saturated by nested ifs, else and lookup in
various tables. I want to try and consolidate all of that and hope that
there is a more manageable way than 'just' restructuring a bunch of PL/SQL.

I don't fully understand what you are after, but I'm guessing the question
would be

"What is the built-in, included, Oracle Workflow?"

Optionally, if you don't have workflow in place, but are using Oracle Applications.. check out their fast formulas. Lots of
possibilities there to build a rules engine that is easy to maintain.

If you work with some of the later Apps-versions (11 and up), that
then has sure Workflow installed. Just query in SQL*Plus for tables
starting with WF.
