About the Tools
Oracle has long recognized that without appropriate tools, a database is just a collection of bits and bytes, of little use to anyone. While some vendors assume that tools will be built by the user or purchased from another vendor, Oracle provides a powerful set of tools with the base distribution of the database that are useful for administration and configuration of the database as well as for application development. In fact, it is entirely possible to design and build a functioning database application using just this set of included tools. Table 9.1 provides a quick guide to selecting appropriate Oracle-supplied tools. Note that Import and Export are described in Chapter 4.
