Managing Oracle with an iPhone
My next (personal) project will be managing my Oracle databases with an iPhone. Yes I do need to still buy an iPhone first, but that is just a small detail. I already built and Oracle DBA application that I can use from my current phone so I will just take some tweaking to work on an iPhone. Yet I am thinking about a complete recoding of the application. My current application is custom built and not really designed to handle all Oracle databases. It is specific to many of the jobs running in my data warehouse. From any web browser I can see what is running on my database and perform simple DBA tasks. While there are some nice applications out there to manage a database remotely I want to have something a bit more custom.
My current application is built with an Oracle backend (of course) and running ASP as the front end. I think my new application will be running PL/SQl pages or PHP. I may even move to Oracle Express as my backend database with Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX). This would allow me to freely distribute the full application. No matter how I go with this new application it will be slow going. This will be a personal project and with kids, a wife, and a full-time job my new iPhone Oracle application will not be on the top of my list.
