Re: Re[2]: Re:Anyone using CA products?

Like I said, we only have Platinum DesktopDBA and the State of Vermont is to frugal to but anything else, leastwise not for me. Platinum does some very neat things that OEM can't do. The consultants recommended this tool and I had it when I came and I upgraded when we moved to 8.0.6.

I have gotten good support so far. Knock on wood, cross you heart and spit, it will keep on being good.
