sqlDoInstall will help you to install new SQL scripts and keep track of the versions applied to your Oracle database. Freeware

sqlDoInstall 1.7 allows you to rerun a failed script and restart from the point where it has failed in a previous run. It does not apply a driver+script combination that has been installed successfully. The "driver" and the supplied SQL uniquely identifies your script across the database. It'll create two tables: driverinst contains details, and driverinst_head contains a summary of the installation process. SQL installation, schema upgrades, and version tracking are easy.

SQL Server monitoring tool. Freeware, Windows

Simtel.net: "xSQL Profiler is an easy to install, easy to use, agent-less SQL Server monitoring tool that can be utilized for performance, auditing and compliance related tasks. Its simple yet powerful interface allows the user to define custom events by combining low level SQL Server events and applying filters to get exactly what the user wants. The user can then define traces by selecting the events, the servers and/or databases to be monitored and applying additional filters to fine tune the results. The xSQL Profilers scheduling capability allow the user to schedule the traces to run at certain intervals every day, every week or every month on all the selected servers. Finally, xSQL Profilers automatically collects the trace data into a central repository and provides a flexible reporting interface that allows the user to quickly zero in on the data of interest.
xSQL Profiler's powerful filtering capability, advanced scheduling and flexible reporting interface make it a must have tool for SQL Server database administrators.
xSQL Profiler supports SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000."

SPWrapper is designed to require little configuration: it tries to automatically guess input parameters form SQL code, and output parameters from the SQL result set fetched. All the SQL statements can be translated to source code, even those with proprietary syntax. It currently supports 4 databases for Java (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQL Server) and Oracle with Python. A Netbeans plugin is also available (for stored procedures only).
