Remote access database via OEM
I have the following questions in regarding to the using HTTP protocol to access the remote database server:
When I install the Oracle database 10g, it gives me two choices:
1)Using Grid Control for Database Management and
2)Using Database Control for Database Management.
When I select the #2, according to the Guide, I'll be able to manage my database locally. (Assume the database server's IP address is: DB_IP_Address, then I can use: http://DB_IP_Address:5560/em). But wait a minute___
a)What does this "locally" mean? If the Oracle DB is installed in a remote location, can I still access it via the Oracle Enterprise Manager (Database Control Console)? (i.e., via the HTTP protocol). Please note: My machine is connected to the internet, but not "LANed" to the remote database server.
b)The same question is asked for the iSQL*Plus in regarding to the remote access. I guess the answer to a) above will automatically answer the b) ? (Actually I doubt that I can access remote database using the iSQL*Plus via HTTP protocol. Once again, my machine is connected to the internet, but not "LANed" to the remote database server).
Thanks
