Chose Oracle SQL Developer
They do almost the same things, but I particularly I prefer TOAD, maybe because when I started programming with Oracle Database it was the first tool that I used and I think it's easier to use too.
Having used both TOAD and PL/SQL Developer, I believe SQL Developer from Oracle is a most than acceptable alternative, maybe not as powerful and complete as them but being free has a very positive impact. Most development profiles can work perfectly using SQL Developer while …
[The] developer's user interface is very handy and simple to use. [W]e can see full query [executions] and optimize the query data import and export, [which] is very easy. [Easy] [installation] and setup [of the] debugging [process] is easy.
In addition to Oracle SQL Developer I have used Microsoft SQL Server management studio, Toad for Oracle, SAS, and other third party SQL tools. I have found Oracle SQL Developer to be one of the best all around tools for accessing Oracle databases, as well as interfacing with …
Oracle SQL Developer is neck and neck with other tools. It offers all the required features and is much more reliable than many other vendors. Since it’s developed by Oracle, it works well with Oracle. It’s ultimately down to individual selection but Oracle SQL Developer offers …
This SQL Developer product stacks up well against TOAD, in that it has most of the functionality that TOAD has and allows better organization for me. It also allows me to make connections within new folders of the same database with different users. The best thing about SQL …
Oracle SQL Developer, in comparison to Toad for Oracle, works very similarly. Toad for Oracle is very useful for complex data management, and this includes monitoring queries and managing permissions. Oracle SQL Developer is great as a simple tool for developers. It has …
SQL Developer is a very simple tool that is user-friendly and easy to understand for beginners as well. As SQL Developer is Oracle's own product, the Oracle product support is better when it is mentioned about the use of SQL Developer in Service Requests. The area of …
Oracle SQL Developer has a much simpler, novice-friendly interface than TOAD or Sequel Pro. Less clutter and fewer buttons makes it easier for a non-expert/non-DBA to navigate and query. Having a product supported by Oracle itself is also a draw. If an issue is being …
We use both tools. It's partially a user preference-based decision but TOAD's ability to allow more than 1 query to be run at a time gives it an edge over SQL Developer in some users' opinions. I think if that capability were added to the product, most if not all of our users …
Toad is really useful for all the many features it offers. When I was a new hire it was daunting to use and I didn't use half the features since it was so complex. Our data scientist team uses it and that is one of the software they are in all day. When I ended up changing …
I have started to use Toad for Oracle recently because it is easier to sort and filter results, due to their memory sort feature that puts the results from your query in memory so that you don't have to rerun your query. I have used SQL Developer to easily update records in …
I have only had limited experience with Toad since that product requires you to purchase licenses. The companies I have worked for have generally opted to use SQL Developer because it is free. That being said, I believe SQL Developer is a very close match in all aspects to Toad.
Toad and SQL developer are often compared and we considered both at the beginning. Arguably, Toad outperforms SQL developer in terms of many functionalities. The biggest reason we encouraged our engineers to use SQL developer was cost. Although it is not enriched like Toad, it …
In the past you needed to use TOAD for many needs, but now I can do almost everything I ever need in SQL Developer. It is a cost savings and has become much more useful through the updates. Oracle products are never pretty, but they are workhorses and this is definitely the …
I use many tools hand in hand. As an analyst I cannot rely on Toad, but I rely more on SQL developer. Moreover, SQL developer has many featues like easy reporting, any kind of queries and more. But mostly, I use SQL Developer for it's features to free cost ratio.
I think that Toad may be a better tool for actual developers but not for analysts. Notepad++ is great, and I use it and SQL Developer hand in hand with each other.
The products are pretty comparable as far as functionality goes. We preferred the user interface of SQL Developer over competing products. They are all free so price was not a consideration. We did try Toad but decided SQL Developer suited us better.
SQL Developer is good with PL/SQL development and running SQL. SD has comparable features to all of the Oracle development GUI's I've seen and used. The Toad products have query builder...a nice SQL builder for the novice. The Toad products also have more code snippets and …
Oracle SQL Developer delivers a friendly, clean graphical interface that fits the user's different levels of knowledge. The left side of the main window allows you to easily select the objects that populate the databases, while the right part provides the details of the …
Toad for Oracle compares favorably to Oracle SQL Developer. I think it is mostly a matter of preference between our user base. I see some using Toad and others using SQL Developer. The one thing that Toad does which SQL Developer doesn't is running more than one query against …
SQL Developer has been used significantly by the development team for their sql designing and development.
RedGate is primarily used for ms sql and for CICD pipeline. We also use liquibase for our change deployment to automate the cicd. Toad is better to compared the both these …
SQL Developer is perfect for non-Oracle developers. It's lean and powerful. Except that Toad is even more powerful. Especially navigating through package definitions, packages body's, schema's and scripts is as if you're driving a Porsche in the fast lane with Toad, whereas SQL …
Toad for Oracle is a better tool in that it has more advanced features. With Toad, altering tables is very user friendly. You can also see specific sql scripts for the table modifications you have made. Also, with Toad for Oracle, you can monitor packages running in specific …
Toad is much better than Tableau query writer. Tableau is not intuitive and requires knowledge of proprietary database language to fully implement. Tableau does not perform as quickly and accurately as Toad. Toad is very easy and slim to install. Additional hardware is often …
We didn't make a decision of choosing one and dropping the other. Our database guys have their own preference of tools. Since SQL Developer is a free-to-use tool and light weighted tool, we used it for education materials. For those who need advanced functions, database …
I have used SQL Developer and XML spy. Both tools have their strengths but do not have as many options for interacting with data. I have also used SQL*Plus but it is not as user friendly for quick interaction with the data. I have not utilized any other tools to interact …
Code quality, application performance, code maintainability, team collaboration, and productivity are the pillars exposed by Toad against the other vendors. We encourage these points and we can attest to their usefulness.
Toad has far more templates than SQL Developer. You can customize Toad. Toad is far more flexible with its options and setup features. Toad is much better at SQL Performance Tuning than what is available in SQL Developer. SQL Developer is free and is a good tool …
I have used some SQL clients like Squirrel SQL or Dbeever before and they are good but do not have all the options and flexibility Toad offers: help on code, data tables browsing, errors reporting, filters, different visualization modes for data, optimization, etc.
Toad is much better than other two. Thus for simple work PLSQL developer will work (it's a little lighter). SQL Developer is a Java application and not one of my preferred tools.
I have used SQL Developer for Oracle 11g, which does a decent job, but when it comes to selecting a tool, I would choose TOAD. It has a better GUI, and it consumes much less memory as compared to SQL Developer. It's easy to learn and get up to speed while working with SQL.
The one big difference in the area of usability is the Object Browser in Toad for Oracle. It's very easy to navigate between different database objects at different schema levels without hassle. This is not true with SQL Developer.
DBArtisan has an easier to understand interface. It may not have all the features that Toad has. However, those differences are small and shouldn't impact the work or productivity of average DBA work.
SQL Developer is also good and free from Oracle. But it's entirely …
I believe PL/SQL Developer is better for debugging a script as I stated earlier Toad for Oracle tends to crash when debugging. For features and layout, I would put Toad for Oracle in front of the other two. I do not recall much about SQL Navigator as I used it many years ago.
