Metadata management like Cognos Framework Mgr or Business Objects Universe

This is really related to reporting. I am new to APEX.

I am used to tools like Cognos and Business Objects, where you can create a rich metadadata layer, and then expose that layer to users for rich ad-hoc reporting. I do not see that concept in APEX. For example, for APEX interactive reporting it looks like the developer must "hard code" a sql query as the basis for an ad-hoc report. While a developer can create a more complex query. i.e. joins, etc, this seems very limiting. With a rich metadata layer, end users could create very sophisticated ad-hoc reports. Am I missing something?
