Binley, I've spent more time than I care to remember in reactive mode. It stinks, which is most likely why I wrote my own database monitor 10 years ago. At least when it sees a problem it's 4 or more hours into the future before the end users know it's going to happen. And at that, 70% of the time that homegrown monitor fixes the issue on it's own.

Production issues ALL fall into one bucket, I needed to do something 10 minutes ago. If you think like that, jokingly or otherwise, you are likely to lock yourself into reactive mode versus proactive mode. I leave you to interpret that how you like. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Binley Lim INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
