Re: Free graphical Oracle DBA-Tool for download

Dear all,

The next two sentences go on to say "Nach Ablauf dieser Zeitspanne kann bei uns ein kostenloser Registrierungsschlüssel bezogen werden. Ja Sie haben richtig gelesen, ab sofort ist dieses Tool gratis für jedermann verfügbar." which I would take to mean "At the end of this time (refering to the 90-day period) a free registration key can be obtained from us. Yes, you read that right, this tool is immediately available for everyone, free". Then it says approx. "For this free version no support is offered." I'm just translating this, not endorsing or criticising anything.

Terry.
