[Quoted] The problem with many GUI tools, almost by definition, is that they lag behind what the database can do. Which GUIs will let you build either of the following two tables other than by typing it in just as you'd do with SQL*Plus?

CREATE TABLE rowdep_test (
testcol VARCHAR2(20))
ROWDEPENDENCIES; CREATE TABLE rowmove_test (
testcol VARCHAR2(20))
ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT; [Quoted] Will they help you build compressed and function based indexes? How many versions after you could do it in SQL*Plus?

[Quoted] Given that I haven't used any GUI in almost a decade I may be in need of some re-education but I suspect that things haven't changed that much.
