Yes. I've seen that in a number of IB/FB apps. It is fairly common. But, 
also common to create a non SYSDBA user too for that purpose. Be careful 
about grants.. if you have two users, IB and FB management tools tend to 
grant for that specific user by default. If someone logs on as SYSDBA, 
I've seen mad things where people have made random grants for various 
users because of this.

The EMS tools are pretty cool. We used to use their manager, forget what 
it is called now. I did use Marathon for a while, but it was quite buggy 
and unstable.
