EPHRAIM SCHWARTZ Wireless World InfoWorld.com Thursday, July 5, 2001 REDUCING THE COST OF DBAS Posted at June 29, 2001 01:01 PM PST Pacific I'LL LEAVE IT to my readers to quantify the amount of time and money their companies would save if their DBAs (database administrators) could remotely, and wirelessly, make changes to their databases. Imagine the efficiencies in not having to call a DBA back to the office to add table space to a database, look at what indexes exist and modify table structures, give a new password to a user who has forgotten it, or remove from the database a user who is running a command that is holding up the system. You can accomplish these and many other corrective measures using the application PocketDBA, available from the company of the same name. I spoke with Ari Kaplan, CEO and co-founder of PocketDBA, in Chicago. His background includes 10 years at Oracle, where he oversaw the implementation of some of the largest Oracle database deployments in the world, such as Hallmark's Web site and Merck's entire order-entry and inventory system. Kaplan believes his company's wireless DBA package is more robust than Oracle's own desktop Enterprise Manager. PocketDBA, which can currently be implemented on a Palm OS device and will soon be available for Pocket PCs, will appear for Microsoft's SQL Server and IBM's DB2 next year. Go to http://www.pocketdba.com for a demo. Fed up with ActiveSync Remember two weeks ago when I said that I did not want work-arounds to my problem in which ActiveSync did not recognize the USB ports on three separate computers (see Wireless World, June 18)? Here's a typical example of the e-mails I've received that prove my point. I had a similar but intermittent problem with my iPaq using ActiveSync on a Toshiba laptop, one reader wrote. I installed the Compaq ROM BIOS update last month and haven't seen the problem since. The update is Version 1.77, and you can download it from http://www.compaq.com/support/files/handhelds/us/download/9820.html. Also ActiveSync 3.1 (Build 9587) has some fixes for USB support. Build 9587 is available at http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync.asp.; So what about the folks who

Well, we have remote access from home too, but it might be convenient to be able to do this stuff while I'm running from a grizzly in the Absarokas. That way I wouldn't have to hang around the house all weekend waiting for a call that might never come. Of course it's a moot point for us since (1) we're never on call here, and (2) there probably won't be wireless coverage in the Absarokas for another 200 years or so. --Walt Weaver Bozeman, Montana, USA -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 12:57 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Where I am the amount is zero as we all have remote access from home already.

We did something similar to this 4 years ago using the 2 way pagers, email, home grown algorithm similar to secure key(give me a number and I'll check to see if it's the correct sequence), and a heck of a lot of PERL programming. So IF WE HAD COVERAGE on the 2-way pager(RIM pager using bellsouth's paging network)-it didn't require a lot of $$$. Shoot Walt-it may have had coverage in Absarokas ;-) Greg -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 3:41 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L InfoWorld.
