- Yes there is such a beast out there and it is called DDS/Patrol (ie if it
- is what you are referring to). DDS stands for distributed Data Systems The
- product is written by a company in Sydney, Australia and Oracle financed
- part of the development. One of the main developers name is Martin
- Picard. Yes, all you Oracle staff out there, Martin Picard was a former
- Oracle staff who used to work in the networking area.
-
- Oracle's involvement in it was to help incorporate the Oracle knowledge
- into the product. Basically the product could monitor any DBMS if you
- wanted to. It is GUI and has voice as well (I believe). I had a chance to
- play with it and it is worth having a serious look at. The product is
- currently in beta test at some sites in Aust.
-
-
- I could go on and on about it but I dont have the time. If you want, you
- could contact you Oracle rep and asked for some documentation. I received
- about 15 pages in all.
-
-
- Oracle will be marketing the product and some ridiculous figures have been
- thrown around about the cost of the product. There are two parts to the
- product, the master and client with different prices for each.
