Hi Folks,

We all know that a DBA may have his collection of database monitoring,
maintenance and tuning scripts to run a database successfully. My
question is,  what is the best tool, in terms of easy development and
portability to categorize each of these queries and click on the
button/hypertext links to execute the queries for results:

Some of the options that came to my mind are :

1. Oracle Forms, where we can associate each query to a button
2. Perl, where we can embed SQL scripts inside Perl scripts
3. Plain HTML, but I do not know how to execute SQL scripts from HTML
4. Java and SQLJ, but I do not know what the formatting capabilities
     are in Java to display the output on the screen

I might be wrong in the above list of choice. Please suggest a good tool
so that a DBA can have all the scripts executed from one tool , which
is easily accessible and be able to format the output from the queries.
Thanks.
