Toad for Oracle is a world-class enterprise query-develop-tune-administration tool for the Oracle database platform. This document attempts to differentiate Toad from the average Oracle IDE or query tool so that the reader can make an informed decision to invest in the Toad product family.
Following is a list of features and concepts that most commercial and even freeware offerings strive to deliver. Each feature will demonstrate clearly how Toad rises above the competition. If you can live with only the lowest-common-denominator features, then Toad may not be an easy sell. If, however, you need a tool to rescue from hairy situations, tune your systems, and automate those painful daily tasks, then Toad should be a clear winner.
