I complained yesterday about the cost of the productivity packs. I
think you have to have those also to manage the patch updates as well.
I only had about three responses which gave me the impression that it
wasn't being used very much and that not many people were using the
add-ons. They are crazy expensive. Most of the features I need Toad
provides for about $2500.

Hmmm...
Two hours and no responses.
GC does not appear to be in wide use.

Well, I have actually, but only long enough to try it
and discard it
because I didn't like it too much.
I've been told that GC is completely re-written and a
much
better product than OEM. What I want to find out is if
there
is some community concensus to back up that claims.
Let's assume none of the add-on packs ($$$$) will be
used,
and RAC is not involved.
What does GC bring to the table that is worthwhile in
your opinion?
I was also told that GC could be used to (easily?)
download and
apply Critical Patch Updates. Maybe not quite
automated, but
simplified at least. Has anyone experienced that?
It was also stated that this beast would require 8Gig of
RAM,
which seems rather excessive.
