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.

Hi 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.

    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? ;)

    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.

    

    Thanks
