Lyndon,

    I take it from your reply that 1) your not the primary DBA and 2) everyone is using Personal Oracle or Standard edition on their desktop. Sounds like one heck of a mess.

Vendor Lock-in.

I hate it when default installs of Oracle complains it does not have enough shared pool after about 30 connections and a small 10,000 entry database with no pl/sql stored procedures.

I then have to go around fixing everyone's init.ora because none has a clue why Oracle would complain about not having enough memeory when the machine it runs on has 2GB of memory - and it's not even my job to do this tweaking (it's someone else who went to Oracle class for $$$ company paid and still does not know), it just so happens I know how to fix it that's why I get called to fix it.
