SQLPlus is the only interface any real DBA needs.

Oracle does provide OEM, Oracle Enterpise Manager, a GUI tool that can be set up and used with the database, and version 10g introduces the Database Console or Grid control. See your documentation to determine which tools you want to set up and configure.

But everything a DBA needs to do can be done via SQLPlus.
