Ken -
That's interesting news. I would be willing to "volunteer" to be the
maintainer of the code, as I am nearly finished with my own Oracle PMDA
as I type this. I've been working on it, albeit slowly, for a few
months now and I would be very interested to see how my agent compares
with the one SGI wrote. Let me know how can I help. Thanks!

There once was an Oracle agent for PCP. This was a proprietary add-on
in the days before the open source release of any of PCP. This product
no longer exists (so the salesperson is correct).
There are plans underway to turn over this source code to the community
once we've negotatiated the transition. This has been signed-off by the
Open Source Review Board within SGI, and the ball is in my court to
complete the transitional arrangements with an external volunteer who
will become the maintainer for this code.
