x-windows?

[ajhull]

I need to connect up to a client's server and use the Oracle tools to configure, create databases etc. I really like using the database configuration assistant (DBCA) but I need to have a graphical interface; hence, my question on x-windows.

I am interested in finding out which x-windows software is considered the best which is free.

Also, is it as simple as installing this software and dialing up the network, ? In other words, when I initiate DBCA from the command prompt in unix on the remote server, will an x-windows session automatically start on my local pc?

Any information is appreciated.

You should run X-Server application on your PC first. Then, before starting DBCA you should set DISPLAY variable:

export DISPLAY=IpOrDNSNameOfYourPc:0.0


We use Exceed, but it's not free.

Thanks. I am using a trial version of x-manager right now...works well. I chagned the DISPLAY parameter on the unix server as suggested.
