[sure_subha]

Folks,

We are exploring the use of Oracle Connection Manager (OCM) and would like to gain some real world insight from members of this forum.

Specifically -
1. What are the advantages/disadvantages of OCM ?
2. What scenarios would best describe the usage of OCM ?
3. Does OCM guarantee a higher level of database security ?

Any insight will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Suresh
