I always keep a hammer, a frying pan and a bottle of brandy at my desk.

hmmm i dont think so PAVB is a DBA

he is something else in disguise of a DBA

do you use the hammer to break down the tables and call it range partitioning ?

Here is the deal, I usually do not have "problems" with software I rather consider those "challenges". What I have "problems" with are uncooperative/stupid hardware and people; then...

Hammer
-- Very useful when dealing with uncooperative/stupid hardware. Once you hit it with a hammer there is no doubt it has to be replaced, stop trying to fix what can't be fixed you SOB!

Frying pan
-- Very useful when dealing with uncooperative/stupid people. If the SOB keeps trying to fix what can't be fixed, hit him/her in the head with the frying pan. If needed you can always claim it was a kitchen accident.

Bottle of brandy
-- Very useful to deal with myself when all hope is lost because of either uncooperative/stupid hardware or uncooperative/stupid people. If even after the hammer/frying pan treatment both uncooperative/stupid hardware and people keep commited to make your life misserable, then you go for the bottle of brandy

SQL Developer - Oracle Software Like Toad and free

Is there a particular brandy that you use? I usually find scotch helpful. Perhaps Oban or Highland Park.

I use a combination of OEM, SQL Developer, sql_trace 10046 and tkprof, and evil stares!

I'm more of a Merlot person myself. Covers the same territory as Brandy but leaves you able to wield the hammer and frying pan a bit longer.

We also use OraCompare a lot here. We're forever (or so it seems) comparing schemas between test and production servers verifying that our test environments are setup properly. Also came in very handy during a recent migration from Oracle 7.3 on UNIX all the way up to (don't laugh) Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows.

I've been told that Toad covers the same territory as OraCompare and then some.

Oct 2007 was the last time I drank Johnnie Walker (Black Label).
