does ORACLE support WMI?

Would I be correct in thinking that ORACLE does not document/support a
WMI interface? A quick search using google, technet and metalink
turned up no examples which suggests not.

Never heard of it. What is WMI?

The first thing my Google search showed indicates WMI stands for Waste
Management Institute.

I guess you are probably talking about a Microsoft API.

I further guess you are talking about the Windows Management
Instrumentation SDK. If so, IMO the power of the Oracle Enterprise
Manager that comes with the Oracle products (included in the product
license) negates the need.

Now if you're talking about CIM as defined by dtmf
(http://www.dtmf.org), to which [this latter definition of] WMI is
supposed to be compliant, one might note that both Oracle and Microsoft
are on the board so a search of CIM and Oracle might be more useful.
