Hi! I once built a monitoring system for an European telco, having databases in about 10 countries to monitor. We already had made a very simple looking web interface for database monitoring and regular maintenance/decision tasks. When I got a request to put this monitoring environment "mobile", I just found an open source WAP gateway from internet, installed & tested it in 3 hours and voilą, ther I had a mobile monitoring system which our evey WAP enabled GSM owner could use. But that was back in WAP1.1 days, when there was no security implemented, thus we had to make our own smal dial-up centre for "administration" through cellphone. Management was _very_ surprised, they kind of expected from their previous experience, that the Great Mobilization Project would take up to half a year :)

Production issues ALL fall into one bucket, I needed to do something 10 minutes ago. BTW: When I did eval PocketDBA it worked rather nicely with a regular browser, we just could not get it to work outside the immediate area doe to the lack of communications capability. Our Network/WAN admin is playing around with a GSM card from AT&T.
