RE: 8.1.6 upgrade

>>>I had previously installed a trial version of Savant QDiagnostics, but
after
de-installing the thing I am left with a QDBA account that cannot be deleted.
Drop user qdba cascade hangs whether I do it from DBA Studio, SQL*Plus or svrmgrl.<<<

This is because QDBA relies on jobs to collect and report info about your databases. Issue following at sql*plus:

execute qdba.q$bgproc.stop_driver;

You will then be able to easily drop the schema.

Great product, by the way. I haven't seen a nicer, more complete interface anywhere else.
