Sue, your identification of "input", "execute", and "output" is actually quite interesting. Excellent, but incomplete. Shouldn't you assign weighted averages to these? lets say you have an exam: "you study", "you appear at the exam" and then "your exam result/grade". Are they all equal? ;) Rick Date: Wed, 03 Mar 2004 08:59:27 -0800 To: "Multiple recipients of list ODTUG-SQLPLUS-L" <ODTUG-SQLPLUS-L@xxxxxxxxxxx> From: "Sue Johnson" <sue_johnson_dba@xxxxxxxxxxx> Add to Address Book Subject: RE: SQLPlus repl tools LIST - strange tools lead the pack Ed, After quite some analysis, my evaluation team is leaning toward the following tools: Golden32(Benthic) http://www.benthicsoftware.com/down/goldensetup57418.exe 35/-) Active+lite(Iraje) http://www.iraje.com/promos/pap/aplite.exe (Free/575/-) Strangely, there are no reviews on these tools...any help would be appreciated...

I would really appreciate your experienced feedback/insights in picking the appropriate one. If you can rate/rank the tools below with some reasons, that would be a great help to me (as well as the Oracle community...I'm sure). Toad-SQL editor (Quest) http://www.quest.com/toad/trial.asp (795/-) Navigator-SQL editor(Quest) http://www.quest.com/sql_navigator/trial.asp (795/-) Golden32(Benthic) http://www.benthicsoftware.com/down/goldensetup57418.exe 35/-) Active+lite(Iraje) http://www.iraje.com/promos/pap/aplite.exe (Free/575/-) Hora (Keeptool) http://www.keeptool.com/KeepTool6.1.exe (560/-) Pl/Sql dev.(Allround Automation) http://www.allroundautomations.com/plsqldev.exe (150/-) SQL Editor(Allround Automation) http://www.allroundautomation.com/doad7.exe (129/-) Am i missing any? (not editors such as vi, emacs, bbedit, notepad, ultraedit32, etc. please!). Our top priorities (in order of pref) are: 1. Strong Security for uninhibited use by all users and deployment across the corporation. 2. SQLPlus like editor with cut/paste/search/pick lists/...sqlplus look&feel (input) 3. Strong spreadsheet style results where developers/end users can work effortlessly with result sets (output) 4. Ability to produce reports directly from the output 5. Ability to save queries which can be hosted for less technical staff. What do you recommend? why? Sue DBA OCP __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
