Hi, Way back on JAWS 3 or so, I used SQL Navigator. I wrote scripts for it back then that made it somewhat friendlier than it was out of the box, but it was still pretty good even without scripts. I have no idea how it is now. Thanks.

During limited discussions with Quest, they shared with me their voluntary product accessibility templates for Toad which state that they recognize that it violates many accessibility principles. It also appears that they have no desire to address these issues either. Too bad -- there are many blind developers who would use it if it were usable. Myself, I use Sqlplus -- both from the unix prompt and as a windows client. It's quite accessible (as long as your telnet client works well with JAWS) but it certainly doesn't have the bells&whistles that TOAD does. I also seem to recall that others used to use SQLNavigator and found it better than TOAD. I can't speak to this myself though.

Oracle SQL Developer is only somewhat accessable with some work. SQL Plus seems to be the way most blind Oracle programmers and or dba seem to use as their main tool.

Does anyone here have experience they want to share about this? Thanks. Jim ---------- Jim Homme, Usability Engineering. 412-544-1810.
