What is Mumbai?
Mumbai is a freeware Windows application targeted at Oracle DBAs and consultants, with a special focus on performance analysis.
Prerequisites
Mumbai was tested on Windows XP, 2003 and Windows 7 and might well work on other versions of Windows. Mumbai needs a full Oracle Client installed on the machine where it runs or an Oracle Instant Client which needs to be available in a directory listed in the PATH environment variable.
Mumbai is meant to work with Oracle databases 9.2 to 11.2, but was mainly tested on 10.2. Some functionality is not available for 9.2 databases.
