Hi

That's true. You should at least have the option to use (usable;) GUI tools. Just yesterday, I had a developer (who usually works with SQL Server) asking me
wether he always has to mess around with this client thing ... *what client thing ?*.
Actually, he meant the tnsnames.ora. After a short monologue about Oracle Names and OID,
he just popped up some SQL Server GUI stuff, that displayed a catalog of all DB servers,
all databases, no files to maintain, no nothing, just works. So, what does one say then to justify the Oracle way ? Not much. Since usability influences decision makers (and younger developers) a lot, Oracle might
loose here with the "You don't know all the command line tool options and SQL statements by heart ?
- You're too stupid to work with Oracle, go ask your local Oracle guru or study your $%§ss off and
get certified."

Regards

Stefan
