-----Original Message----- Binley Lim Sent: 08 September 2003 17:49 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L IMHO, I cannot see a use for such a gadget. Production "issues" come under 2 categories: 1. It can wait until tomorrow. 2. I have to do something now. In the first case, I am happy to remain blissfully un-aware until I get to work. In the second case, I prefer a proper screen and keyboard to do the work. In this case, a pager is more than sufficient as a notification device. Anything else in between should have already been *proactively* alerted (and addressed) via a monitoring tool, or more effectively and reliably via a whole bunch of home-grow scripts. The options I have seen advertised for such a gadget include adding users or adding datafiles (which is probably obsolete with 10g anyway). If you have to do these things re-actively via a PDA, you have to seriously look at getting out of fire-fighting mode in the first place. In fact, I have never equated OEM with usefulness or reliability - remains to be seen what 10g is like. To be fair, all monitoring tools I have worked with, or evaluated, can only be ranked according to their degree of un-usability. ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 2:29 AM > I be Ari Kaplan, designer and creator of Pocket DBA is not very happy.
