Oh I agree
As a newbie to the Oracle fold I found it oh so easy to dive into
stuff with the DBA Studio, I suppose the thing that stops me is some 7 or
more years hacking around Linux and Unix systems. Graphical tools are great
for some things but you just cant beat the capabilities of a good script
and Windows will be a lot better for it now it has a good scripting system.
What i found DBA studio for thogh was the show SQL button I could set up
some task to do and then have a look at the SQL that was going to happen so
I could better understand it.
I am sure when we start seeing more Oracle up on Win2K we will see a lot
more scripting on that side to do those mixed OS and SQLPlus tasks.
