Orac_Dba is a great tool, but the author is not updating it.
Me and another guy on this list were supposed to take over,
but it seems that neither of us has had enough time to do it.
I did patch my own version, but those were intermediate patches,
not eligible for releasing into the wild. What is missing from
the tool are various tablespace options (temporary, locally managed,
,uniform size, autoallocate, ASSM, plugged) and wait events. Use
of DDL::Oracle should be scrapped entirely or the DDL::Oracle module
should be completely rewritten using DBMS_METADATA. Tim Bunce is about
to finish a complete rewrite of DBD::Oracle (version 1.16 will not
support OCI7 any longer) and the new DBD::Oracle was in RC6 phase last
time I checked (release candidate 6), so it doesn't make sense to
start writing new version until that was done. Also, I think that
the new Orac_Dba shouldn't support 8i, but start with 9.2 as the most
frequent version employed.
