RE: DBA tools advice needed

I agree that OraSnap is a great product. Easy to use and free. I run the scripts from Windows on a dozen or so remote databases. My only complaint is that there is no control over the output. I end up doing a lot of moving and renaming of directories.

I am using OraSnap (www.stewartmc.com/oracle/orasnap). OraSnap gives a very complete overview on one or more instances. We run it via cron every hour. It produces about 70 reports in HTML format. So you can get a quick overview with querying your v$* tables. And ....it costs nothing.
