You don't need SNMP. Oracle provides an SNMP agent so that you can monitor your database status using SNMP based tools.

The release notes indicate full support for 7.3 and almost full support for 7.2. They don't even mention 7.1. Despite that, I have used most of the tools, at least superficially, against a 7.1.6 database. Maybe somebody can fill in the details.

If you do start using EM, you'll needs lots of virtual memory on your NT box. EM is broken out into 8 different management tools that cover various aspects of DB management. In almost any activity, you'll find yourself using 3-4 of these apps simultaneously. Combine that with Oracle Book and you've got a noticeable memory drain. Beyond that, everything seems stable and very useable (for a GUI ;).

Has anybody tried installing EM on 95? Received on Wed Sep 11 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
