Overall Satisfaction with Toad for Oracle
Toad for Oracle is used to interact with data in our Oracle Utilities Suite databases. It is also used by our DBAs to support those databases. We perform DML and DDL functions with the tool. It allows us to run more than 1 query at a time against the same database, unlike other products.
- It is user-friendly for the most part.
- It has all of the features you expect from a tool like it.
- It allows you to run more than one query against the same database at the same time.
- The date/time settings in Toad are kind of difficult to figure out. I have to use an ALTER SESSION command to format the dates so I can actually query date/time fields.
- It seems to be updated too often. I get notifications very frequently about new versions being available.
- The export function is difficult to use.
- It gives us the flexibility to run multiple queries at a time against the same database.
- It allows users a choice rather than just forcing everyone to use SQL Developer.
- It's another tool that the DBAs have to support.
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 the same database at the same time. That's the only big advantage I see.
