I come along with oracle but in my opinion it must be allowed to wish

enterprise manager has a button "Clone a DB" and if you start it will
ask you the following questions:
- server?
- sys/system - passwords?
- shrink db?
- delete existing db?
and all the other information concerning operation system, installed
oracle version/patchlevel and whatever it finds out itself.
Dream a little dream ...

I see some of that on EM for 10.2.0.3 under Clone Database... I seem
to recall the patch level stuff is a new feature, I for one tend to
avoid new features.

But really, aren't these DBA tasks?

1.) I can work with sql*plus. And I also can undress me with a knife.
But both seems to me not really useful if there are better ways (and
there are)

Depends on the requirements. Undressing with knives sounds pretty
exciting for some requirements.

I thought the part of The Illustrated Man movie where they all had the
same dream, very disturbing.
