SBODM – A Free Database Manager for Oracle Database

Built in APEX!

SBODM is a free and open-source database management tool for Oracle Database written in Oracle APEX. It is lightweight and amazingly easy-to-use. Not only do we see DBAs using SBODM, we see developers who manage their own database using it too!

Designer and Developer Garry Lawton

SBODM can do the routine things like schedule RMAN backups, display resource utilization (e.g. CPU, IO, storage) and execute exports and imports, but there’s so much more! For example, here’s just some of the things that SBODM can do that some other free management tools cannot:

  • Display waiting or blocked sessions – with terminate session function!
  • View current SQL – including the Execution Plan!
  • View recent alert log entries on the dashboard – with optional filter!
  • Display the complete Alert Log – with optional filter!
  • Receive job notifications, export, import, RMAN, any job (complete/success/error)
  • Easily set system thresholds with Alerts and Notifications. – Even on Oracle SE2 – Standard Edition!
  • Scheduled APEX schema and workspace exports (APEX Backups) – Great for APEX Developers!
  • Manage ASM storage
  • User-customizable context-sensitive Help System
  • And ENHANCE to INCLUDE ANY FEATURE or FUNCTION THAT YOU WANT!

Check out our video tutorial Introduction to SBODM!

Although SBODM can manage only a single database – the database on which it is installed – there are several useful applications. For example, SBODM is  great for:

  • Standard Edition customers who need more features than available with SQL Developer or Oracle EM Express
  • EM Express (aka DB Express) users who do not want to rely on Adobe Flash Player, which has been sunsetted.
  • Enterprise Edition customers who don’t require the complexity or overhead of Oracle Enterprise Manager (or Cloud Control)
  • Oracle Express Edition (XE) users who need more functionality that provided with SQL Developer or EM Express Edition (the free management tool provided with XE database), SBODM can be a useful complementary tool
  • ISV’s shipping Oracle Database under an “embedded license” who want to include a free management tool

 

And, there are modules in SBODM that can be used with Any APEX application

  • Context sensitive HELP system that recognizes application page hierarchy
  • User Role Management System
  • Application Error Log System
