Re: OEM poll

Performance tuning with GC is a bit tricky and for me it takes sometimes a bit of guesswork. I do like the time series charts for SQL statements and SQL Activity reports. I hate how they report wait events though - in number of sessions waiting... that sounds very abstract and unless you really understand how it works - it can be very misleading and hiding real problems just like Statspack report for 6 hours period.

What I like in OEM very much is monitoring part.

Now that we are talking about it I cannot refrain from mentioning Packs Licensing. Two words - it s*cks!
On the other hand I like the basic model - you don't have to license hardware that is used to run GC so it's easy to get couple Linux boxes and you all set. If only Oracle makes packs "free"!
