If you are going to be dealing with Oracle, particularly anything
involving SQL*Net, one particularly amazing thing you must have is
TOAD - Tool for Oracle Application Developers.  It's *free*, provided
you have SQL*Net client installed on Win95 or NT.  It does schemas,
table layouts, objects, triggers, procedures, functions, packages,
database statistics, etc., etc.

Check it out at http://www.toadsoft.com.  Ribbit! Ribbit!
