Re: OT RE: 24 x 7 on NT?

Oh I agree
As a newbie to the Oracle fold I found it oh so easy to dive into stuff with the DBA Studio, I suppose the thing that stops me is some 7 or more years hacking around Linux and Unix systems. Graphical tools are great for some things but you just cant beat the capabilities of a good script and Windows will be a lot better for it now it has a good scripting system. What i found DBA studio for thogh was the show SQL button I could set up some task to do and then have a look at the SQL that was going to happen so I could better understand it.

I am sure when we start seeing more Oracle up on Win2K we will see a lot more scripting on that side to do those mixed OS and SQLPlus tasks.
