I guess I just see OEM as the antithesis of understanding.
It's a tool that I'm sure has it's uses.
I've tried to use it, and it seemed a waste for time for the database.
For Oracle apps I have found it useful, but that is probably because
I never became steeped enough in Apps to be as proficient as I
would like doing things at a lower level. Oracle Apps has been
only strictly small part of my job.
Were someone to have DBA duties as only a part of their job,
it would certainly make sense to depend on OEM. Someone
that is making DBA work their career should however understand
how things work as much as possible.

Yes, I have been told that as well.
If the environment supports it, GC could be a good thing.
It does require someone knowledgeable with lower level
DBA work to install and keep it working, or so I have
been told.

You're welcome, it was an interesting demonstration.
