cx_OracleDBATools
-----------------
This project contains a number of Python scripts that handle Oracle DBA tasks
in a cross platform manner. These scripts are intended to work the same way on
all platforms and hide the complexities involved in managing Oracle databases
on Windows. Each of these scripts is self documented by the --help or -h
option. Additional documentation will be forthcoming at a later date. A brief
description of each script is provided here.

CreateDB - create an Oracle database
StartDB - start an Oracle database
StopDB - stop an Oracle database
CloneDB - clone an Oracle database
BackupDB - perform a cold backup on an Oracle database
RestoreDB - restore an Oracle database from backup
RemoveDB - remove an Oracle database from the machine
ExportControlFile - export the statements needed to recreate a control file
ShowMemoryDB - show memory used by database (Linux only)

This project depends on the cx_PyGenLib and cx_Oracle projects. These must be
installed before using these scripts if you are running in source mode. If you
are using the binary version, these projects can be safely ignored. The binary
versions of these tools were built with cx_Freeze. Each of these projects can
be found at
