Yes. You can enable OEM through the web and DBA Studio comes along with it. That is what I do to maintain all our databases. I am using OEM 2.2 which has HTTP server bundled in the OEM CD. The same can be done with OEM 2.1, but you may have to configure your existing APACHE... webserver to work

I thought that DIRECT=Y was for imports only. It makes since because in the import you are placing the data directly into the blocks with out a redo log. I have no idea why there was a difference in the times unless it was the extra overhead for a command that was not used. ROR mª¿ªm [EMAIL

Ross, I'm not sure why it is being done. We had an audit of our systems done by IBM people and that's one of their recommendations. I think their logic is you hit ratio is pretty high - 99% - so you can do with less memory. This server is not a dedicated Oracle server, we are running another
