Re: sqlReview - free tool for FREE DBAs

Hello Daniel,

[Quoted] [Quoted]   I believe what you did is unethical. You just leave many DBAs with no [Quoted] chance to have a good tool in their toolbox.

  SQL Review is a free, not commercial tool and it does not belong to comp.databases.oracle.marketplace, where it would be ignored by 99% of the DBAs who may need it.

  Please, read below charter of the c.d.o groups. It is clearly indicates that these group is for discussion of software applications and tools. Also, there are no one word that anyhow limits the group participants.

From http://www.orafaq.com/usenet/index.htm:

CHARTER: comp.databases.oracle.tools: - "discussion of software applications and tools available from Oracle Corporation, or designed to work with Oracle applications. "

"CHARTER: comp.databases.oracle.server" - Discussions of software and applications designed to aid in database administration should be carried in this group.

 Please, use you energy to help people and create tools, not to destroy.

 Let's use our power to create things.

 With this, I believe our discussion is over.

Regards,

  Ron
