Note
Managing Oracle via Management Console
Problem
You want to use the Management Console. However, it is not installed by default.
Solution
Windows provides a tool called the Management Console that allows you to control certain administrative functions
through a GUI. It is handy for performing repetitive commands fairly easily and quickly. In the console, you as the user can
create and add stand-alone console add-ins, also known as
snap-ins
. Oracle takes advantage of the tool and provides
a snap-in for managing Oracle Databases. However, it is not installed by default. While installing Oracle Database software,
choose a custom installation rather than an express one, and explicitly choose the Management Console for Oracle.
