Based on the testimony on that webpage, it would appear to be competition...
"Many developers at our company use this product and are actually starting a
coup to stop paying for SQL Navigator and start using TOra exclusively!"
"TOra is what will replace every installed copy of SQL Navigator."

Well, here is what Henrik is saying on his website:
============================
Today I am happy to announce that the purchase of TOra by Quest Software
has been finalized and they will also employ me. I am very excited about
this as it will ensure me being able to work with developing database
products. Let's face it, the development pace of TOra the last 6 months
has left a bit wanting. Initially there will be no change at all except
that the next Windows version of TOra will only be available to
registered users. The current Linux, Unix and Macintosh versions will of
course still be GPL and nothing can change that.
At Quest I will in part work with supporting the existing TOra
application, and also help in moving features from TOra into their core
application TOAD as well as extending it with exciting new features. I
have also received assurances from Quest that the existing registered
TOra users will not be left lacking.
Quest and I are working on product integration plans, so stay tuned for
more information coming soon.
As part of the deal I will also get a sponsored visa to the US and I
will relocate to California in a few weeks. Finally I will be able to
skate inlines all year round. I have also spoken to the developer of
EzSQL another Oracle tool that was acquisitioned by Quest a little over
a year ago and he has been very well taken care of by Quest, so I'm sure
I will like it at my new job.
Finally I'm sorry for not having responded to the questions and rumours
that have been circulating both on the net and on this mailinglist, but
having been at least partially self employed for more than a decade now
nobody knows that something isn't final until the ink is in place more
than me.

============================
I wonder what tora adds to toad? Considering tora was essentially a toad
clone?

Tora also gives a spotlightish performance overview as well. I'd think
of tora as bit like Quest Central really, but with not quite so much
functionality.
The question is - have Quest bought out the windows version only - or
the linux version as well? If Windows only - then IMHO (and only MO),
the buy out was to squash a competitive product.. If they'vee bought the
rights to the linux version (which is free) then they could be looking
at moving in to tools on that platform..
I guess only time will tell.
Mark

Yes, and Quest didn't say whether they actually intend to do anything
with the tool or just want to kill a competitor to Toad. For the DBA
purposes, there is a tool called DBA Companion which can partially
replace tora.
