Your DBA toolset is very limited.*

Actually, the aplets (small single-purpose apps) are quite nice for many DBA functions. What you're missing is the full-screen mode in SQL*DBA.

*if you use SQL, all of these commands you want to perform can still be performed. The market for PO7 is people who generally won't want to mess with the ugly detailed side of DBA tasks, so much of that work is either simplified or kept under covers. Nevertheless, PO7 is 100% full function Oracle7 v7.1.4.

Feel free to buy my book... ;-)
