OEM and monitoring clustered databases

2003-03-05 Thread Chuck Hamilton
I've had problems trying to use OEM (9.0.1) to monitor clustered databases. The problem is that each database is set up in it's own resource group, therefore each has it's own virtual hostname. Even though I may have several databases all running on the same physical host, they all have different

I haven't seen any problems yet. On the contrary - there are facilities in the EXPLAIN PLAN which are not available through v$sql_plan , such as recursive SQL for subquery factoring, and a couple of columns (but I can't remember which ones at the moment). Regards Jonathan Lewis

If you don't plan to have many users, I think you could make do with the Oracle HTTP Server (Powered by Apache) that comes bundled with the database from 8.1.6 and onwards. No need to rewrite any code, as it comes with mod_plsql and the PL/SQL Web Toolkit. You could also consider ChangeGroup
