No, but then again there is never just one tool that does everything just the way you like. If the poster wants to create queries "like in MS Access" then use MS Access. If the user wants to do administration, then do it with sqlplus or Enterpris Manager (or TOAD). Theoretically you can do anything you can do with Oracle using these utilities, but then again they are not the ideal clients for creating drag and drop queries or wysiwig reports or manually editing data. Use whatever ultility or tool that gets the job done the way you want to do it, that is my philosophy ;-) Received on Fri Jan 16 2004 - 20:02:05 CET
