Oh don't get me wrong, I still revere LCD (Least Common Denominator) tools. They are vital for scripting or critical emergencies where other tools don't or can't work.

And I just happen to think that Toad does a better job of that then anyone else. <flamewar> And, of course, I'm right. </flamewar>
Hey, no problem if it works for you. Off and on I work with SQL Developer. It is a great tool, and I really like it for browsing schemas. For many day to day tasks however sqlplus and vi are second nature. It's difficult to change a productive habit when it works so well. And for some things, I don't want to change. :) -- Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist
