hi,
I'am looking for third parties products on Oracle, for monitoring,
tuning, and DB management.
regards
Pierre

| 430.1 | There Are None | MAIL::DUNCANG | Gerry Duncan @KCO | Mon Sep 18 1989 21:44 | 22 |
The only thing I have seen is a 3rd party package that improves
the dismal performance of SQL*forms and a few packages that generate
generic SQL statements. As far as I know, there are no 3rd party
packages for these Oracle functional areas just as there are none
for Rdb/VMS.
Fortunately, Rdb/VMS has a good monitor and it is rumored that dba
tools are in the works.
Oracle, on the other hand, could use some monitoring tools for their
V6/TPO monitor is not good. Their DB management is difficult due
to the way tablespaces are pre-allocated. Finally, they need some
tuning help cause V6/TPO has numerous options and some of the
parameters are not documented well in the dba manual. (AND it's
not all that fast to begin with !!!)
Looks like your best option is to buy consulting for $1000 per day
(US) from Oracle. That's what my customer did.

In the Sep 18 issue of Digital Review, Charles River Data Systems
announced a performance monitor that "observes a user's Oracle load
and lets the potential customer know how much faster their application
would run with Relational Accelerator." I'll bet that is as non-biased
as American Airlines Sabre' system !!!

| 430.3 | DBA companion | VANISH::BROOMFIELD | Fri Sep 22 1989 11:22 | 5 | |
There is a very good DBA tool for Oracle called DBA companion. I don't
know the manufacturer's name, but in the UK it is sold by SPS Ltd in
Woking. This will give you all the tools a DBA needs to manage a large
database - it's a shame that Oracle/Rdb etc. don't provide things like
this as standard.
