I have to say that I started using TOAD version 6.7 right around the time
that quest purchased TOAD; prior to that I was a command line DBA. Since
then I have become a developer as well and I love TOAD it makes my life
easier every day and improves my productivity 100%. I have used almost every
version since and it is a great product. Some versions were a bit buggier
than others but the product managers are available via email and address
issues/bug I bring up right away. They are a pleasure to deal with. Do I use
every new feature, of course not but one never know what the future holds
and I'd rather have then in there and not use them than the reverse. I enjoy
having one tool to address all my DBA and Developer needs. I am not looking
to change anyone's mind but I figured with the TOAD bashing, someone should
say thank you for all the effort that goes into making TOAD an excellent
tool. I find a lot of people who don't like any tool (database related or
not) have not learned to use it sufficiently. BTW I have no stake in
Quest/TOAD.

Reply from a Toad Developer:

I don't want to get into a big internet discussion.  People are entitled to
their opinions, and I am not likely going to change them.

I will tell you, as a rule, I only query what I need to, when I need to. 
  Never any more than needed, and I am constantly trying to look for ways to
improve performance.  For instance, in the Schema Browser, Tables tab, we
don't query for partition information until the user clicks one of the
"Partitions" tab on the RHS.

 > , yet they've done little to make it a better product over the years

This statement just isn't fair.  I've spent the last 11 years trying to make
it a better product!

You have my permission to reprint that if you wish, but I'm not asking you
to.

I'm including Mark because he may be interested in reading this, but I don't
expect he'll reply to the list.

END


Cheers,
Norm.
