June 26, 2013 Database, DBA Oracle, Oracle, Oracle 12 No Comments

The new Database Express or DB Express database utility is different from the former DB Console. It is based on flash and “built-in” the database. To give you a small overview (sneak peek) into this great new tool for, for example, database performance tuning, hereby some pictures to create some appetite. I created some have load on my database, to make it a bit more interesting…

The main menu has a section for “Configuration”, “Storage”, “Security” and “Performance”

As you can see via this short introduction, a lot of the later performance goodies we already know and love are present in the new DB Express tool. Some of the old features have also disappeared. In a “Pluggable Database” environment, this tool is a great asset to the developers, and for those who loved the disappeared toolset from DB Console, it is probably time to have a closer look at the “no cost” option called “Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control”…
