One of the more frequent questions people ask me is why can’t Toad run scripts or commands against multiple databases at once? Of course as usual the answer is Toad already can – so I’m going to dedicate the next couple weeks’ blogs to this topic.
This week I’ll highlight the first method of running scripts for multiple databases using the “Toad Script Manager”. It ...

Toad Data Modeler Generates Best SQL |

When you go through the entire exhaustive process of doing an effective (i.e. accurate) logical model so that you have properly captured all the true business rules and requirements, you sure don’t want your data modeling tool to compromise those findings as you move into the physical model – which is database platform dependent. Yet most data modeling tools do a very poor job of translating ...

I have been doing Oracle work for just over two decades – and I’ve probably written thousands of SQL scripts. Many of those were DBA oriented in their task nature, but even application development presents times where SQL scripts are used. For example, the need may arise for the operating systems’ or third party schedulers to invoke a shell script to execute a SQL script to execute ...

Toad and Dynamic SQL Scripting |

Sometimes, even in today’s world of super GUI’s, a SQL script is still the best way to do something. Plus there are always those people who steadfastly prefer command line to GUI’s no matter what. Can Toad accommodate and even facilitate these needs? Of course you know that the answer is a resounding yes.
Let’s sa ...

I have always believed that Toad Data Modeler offers the best, easy to use data modeling tool on the market for the money. Now my faith has been confirmed – others are starting to see just what a gem Toad Data Modeler. Take a look at this review. I agree 100% of course – but everything there is true.

Making Toad Do What You Want |

A lot of times people will ask Quest tech support or via our Yahoo discussion groups how to make the editor run SQL commands and do stuff more like SQL*Plus or how to better control the output look and feel (i.e. behavior). Along those lines and another very popular question is where one can set an option in Toad for the editor to do something specific (e.g. turn off feedback, etc) – because they have ...

There are quite a few blogs out there about what happened or what’s new from this week’s ODTUG conference in New Orleans. So rather than restate what many others are reporting, I thought I’d try a slightly different approach – to instead report more on what was noticeably absent or different this year. J

Next week the annual ODTUG conference will be held in New Orleans. I’ll be attending sessions and visiting vendor booths in order to stay current with the database DBA and development markets (more developer oriented at this particular show). I’ll report my findings and things of interest next week. I especially hope to corner some Oracle folks on the 11g R2 beta – which I&rsqu ...

I’m working with our product team to develop a novel idea – and need feedback from you, our customer base. So here comes what may seem like a silly question: How would you like to win a free copy of the Toad DBA Suite for Oracle?
Let me explain. I’m proposing that we sponsor an Oracle ...

Database Benchmarking Preparatory Checklist |

There have been several papers and blogs from Quest on the issues of benchmarking successfully, however the condition persists where people experience trying issues with Benchmark Factory and obtaining satisfactory benchmark results. I still maintain that it’s primarily attributable to a lack of proper and complete precursory work. But people generally seem to need more than a notice to prepare more, ...
