Perhaps larger organizations use its templates to keep Jr. DBAs from messing up DB creates, but I think I'd rather have them mess one up so they can learn from it than being a "Click OK" Monkey. I'm probably reading too much into that, but I fail to see DBCA as a critical tool. Good survey. Thanks for the pointer Niall! Rich -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
