Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle DBA evolution path - please share your opi
I have
a question, why did sqlnav 4 get changed soooo much. I don't mind it, but
the duhvelopers her are very unhappy with it and reinstalled 3.28 blah blah.
Just wondering, is it better, am I missing some fantastic
stuff?

Good thing you said that! I was on my way over there to give

I've also seen a couple of questionable actions performed by
3rd-party software. It can be very frustrating.

I will take your advice under consideration. Due to the nature
of the work done here the developers sometimes need to look at different sys
or system objects (e.g. the x$ tables). Part of my job here is to try and give
a more DBA-oriented view on the pros/cons of the application (including the
install process) to the development team, so I appreciate your feedback and
will keep your points in mind.
I'm going to add a few sentences with my Quest Employee hat
on. I hope I'm not giving the impression that over at Quest we have developers
running amuck and trashing every database in sight. It is my responsibility as
an employee here to help people form a good impression of Quest Software, Inc.
and so I want to add that the developers here are very smart people and know
Oracle very well. Like most developers they are used to deleting and
recreating test scenarios at will so they don't have the same respect for
their databases (and nor should they) as a production DBA would have for
his/her data. In addition, some of the test scenarios that they run through
could very well include cases of a database that's "corrupted" in some
significant way, and what to do in that situation.
By the way, if any person has a question on the Quest products
I will endeavour (within the time limits that I am willing to devote to this
list) to answer them.
