Thanks. I hope emgc is most widely used. I am aware that it cannot be used free of cost with your RDBMS license like you use enterprise manager db console for your local RDBMS. if anyone is aware of any other tool other than grid control,please comment. Just wondering if there are people who manage multiple production RAC databases without deploying grid control ?
