GRAPHICAL DBA TOOLS - any suggestions??

Hi all. The company I work for has several Oracle 8 databases, and we are looking for a graphical DBA tool (for Windows 95) to assist with various day-to-day administration activities (excluding backups, which are handled separately).

Of primary importance is the ability to:
- examine the SQL currently being executed by a specific session

• terminate a specific session
• analyze locks (eg which sessions currently have a lock on a specific table)

Which tool would you recommend?

• DBGeneral by Bradmark?
• Oracle 8 Enterprise Manager?
• Any others??

DBGeneral by Bradmark looks interesting. How does this compare with Oracle 8 Enterprise Manager? (The latter may be overkill for what we need. Ease of use is strong priority for us.)

Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated.
