Just one DBAs experience. If you are used to windows, you will probably tend to use a GUI interface more.
1. The typical client for users is whatever they need to get their job done. Normally the application requires a certain client, like ODBC, JDBC, or even proprietary.

2. Some sort of telnet client works fine for me. The nicer ones like Reflections offer a few handy features like the ability to scroll up to earlier parts of your session.

3. I've used Xwindows, but since I'm handy with the command line it is usually more trouble than it is worth. The nice thing about vi is that it is always there. If you must go to a new environment, you may not have the nicer tools working for awhile, but vi is always there.

4. Start with OEM or TOAD. Then see what the fancier tools can offer you that they don't.

Subject: UNIX environment

All

I've always worked in a windows client server environment so I'd like to get some information from those working in UNIX and Linux. My questions are:

These questions are based on file manipulation, database creation, script writing and execution, setting permissions etc.

IN UNIX I'm assuming the server is UNIX and your workstations are either windows or Linux, True? What is the "typical" client in a UNIX environment?
If you are using a different OS on the workstation, you must be using a terminal emulator, such as putty or telnet or the like. Which one do you use? My guess in putty or telnet or even Cygwin would be crude at best.
If you're on UNIX do you use xwindows? On linux do you use a window manager such as gnome or kde?
If you have a windows client what is a good "shell" tool to manage the server?

Any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks
Bob
