Not to mention the propensity of less experienced DBA's to just apply a patch without analyzing if it will or will not introduce any issues into your environment.

We got a preview of the new OEM during Andy Mendelsohn's talk.

HTML-based, what *really* scared me is that Oracle is just NOT listening. They demo'd OEM's ability to track what patches you need to apply, go out to the net (Metalink), download the patch and apply it. Automatically.

See, I don't know about anyone else, but my production database servers sit behind several firewalls. And have no direct connection to the net. Nor do we want one.

Oracle has been saying "administer your database from the web" since version 8 (I had a conversation with Ken Jacobs at an NYOUG meeting back then, trying to tell him why that was a BAD thing). Then they release alerts that say that the listener is vulnerable to attack and break-in. Then they demo a product that will open a connection to the net from my protected servers.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna use OEM for that feature. NOT.
