I'm in favor of separation of duties and specialization but, in my book, the 
application developers who developed the application are responsible for all 
aspects of application performance not the database administrators and 
therefore I want to give developers complete and unfettered access to 
performance information. That includes Statspack, AWR, ASH, 10053 traces, 10046 
traces, and real-time information. The current crop of tools don't support this 
very well and, in my book, that's a design defect.

Are we strictly talking about non-database developers here?   As a database 
developer, I get a lot of my projects by watching the performance pages in OEM 
and finding queries that are either slow, or are being slowed due to 
concurrency conflicts.  You might say OEM gives me a large portion of my 
projects.  Granted, I could get them straight from the database in the tables 
OEM uses, but OEM is a much quicker method when you're exploring recent 
history. Stephen

Both SQL*Developer  and  OEM  provide capabilities which are useful to  DBA's 
and developers.     In OEM you can control access to a target, and ensure  that 
access is read only,  but you really cannot control which panels a user sees.  
Much of what is presented is of little value to the developer. What developers 
want from OEM is to be able to view the overall health of the system, and 
whether any malaise is being caused by what they support.   OEM comes closer to 
providing this than SQL Developer  but is not there yet.  It's been a few years 
since I looked at the SQL Developer  capabilities in this area it seemed that 
it required giving a way the keys of the  kingdom.Another problem with granting 
OEM access   to developers is the load it may place on the OMS.Ian

developersHi Pete,I beg to differ. EM is a DB management tool and I cannot 
fathom what would developers do with it? SQL plans are available from SQL 
Developer. Developers should use development tools, DBA should use management 
tools.  It's not us and them, it's a division of labor. I doubt that developers 
would be interested in how long did the backup run or how many log switches are 
generated during the peek time business hours. So, it's us using EM and them 
using SQL Developer and Eclipse. That's just the natural order of things.On

 As Courtney mentioned, a lot more is possible more easily with EM12c than in 
previous releases.  We really should be getting away from the “us versus them” 
mentality we’ve had for way too long between DBA’s and developers.  As DBA’s, 
give the developers access so they can do their job properly but in a secured 
manner.  As developers, use the tools that have been provided to understand and 
resolve your issues.         Easy, right? ;)         Pete    Oracle  logo

ORACLE-L    Subject: EM access to developers              Quick poll : how many 
folks give developers logins to EM?    Last I was talking to people about 4 
years ago no one was doing that. Have times changed?    I know EM Express looks 
perfect for developers but I'm asking about access to regular EM.
