You are getting responses that don't make sense because you are speaking SQL Server rather than Oracle. If you want to ask questions here you must learn enough about Oracle to use technical terms properly.

The word "Database" in Oracle has no connection, none, with the use of that word in SQL Server. In Oracle "Database" means a set of related physical files. An Oracle database owns no objects. What you should be asking about is tools to manage "Schema" objects. Similarly other parts of what you posted don't translate well either.

That said GUI tools are fine, often great, for monitoring databases. But anyone trying to manage one, from my perspective, should lose their job or be sent for training. It is impossible to create a repeatable process by clicking on links and scrolling through pages.
