Re: Is Oracle deliberately difficult?

If you are talking OEM and its GUI, well, it is a horrible interface and lots of stuff does not work or partly works. And a bad GUI is not what I want to rely on when dealing with production databases that mean millions or billions for downtime or loss.

I stick to scripts and command line interfaces.

Scripts, so an operation can be automated and repeated consistently (ever try adding 100 tables or users with a GUI?) Command line is a consistent, reliable interface. No "undo" on a "drop table" mouse click.
