A GUI? It's Vi or die! If I could only have one tool (not counting SQLPlus, which is the one tool, of course - PL/SQL Developer - http://allroundautomations.com/ would probably be my choice. Oracle's SQLDeveloper is nice but to my taste, a bit awkward and last I checked still a bit flaky. JDeveloper would probably be my choice for development if I did more Java and such. And of course, Enterprise Manager/Grid Control for admin. Although standardization is nice, I've yet to find a tool that does everything to my satisfaction. Since the Oracle tools are free, and PLSQL developer is very low-cost, I use 'em all. fdp --------------------------------- Fred Pierce - Avialantic.com
