Re: Guys: Is this worth $1,749 for 8 year Oracle veteran DBA

I disagree with you guys.

I am using the Database Configuration Assistance and Dbastudio a lot and had no problem with them.
As for the tnsnames you can use name server or do as we do and start checking out the OID for central repository of databases.

The GUI tools are a little :-) on the heavy side but they do their functions.

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
