Hi all, In addition to SQL*Plus, I have always used SQL Navigator as the primary tool for my PL/SQL and Oracle database development. However, it looks like the number one tool for Oracle development is not SQL Navigator, it is TOAD. Based on a (unscientific) poll on my blog, as of the writing of this e-mail, 87 people have responded to the question: What SQL development tool do you use most? TOAD is in the lead, SQL*Plus second, PL/SQL Developer third. SQL Navigator is fourth. It looks like both TOAD and SQL Navigator have the same price, so, I guess, it must be something in the features that makes TOAD more popular than SQL Navigator. I have never used or tried TOAD before, so, for those of you using it, what are the features that you like most in this tool? and if you were the one who had to choose, why did you choose TOAD? Thanks. -- Eddie Awad. http://awads.net/ --------------------------------------- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oradev
