Hi Laxman,

Handing over database migration tasks to someone who has not been exposed to databases at all is asking for a *BIG* trouble. Practicing Oracle on a home machine is much different then working with a production instance in the real world.

If it is just a practice on a home machine...then no harm done, *BUT* if it is a real world scenario...then let the DBA handle these kind of tasks.
