After working with Toad for almost a decade (I think I first saw it as a new grad in ’99…), I tend to start taking things for granted when I do demonstrations for customers or present at conferences on the beauty of Toad. It’s very easy to get excited about CRUD Matrices and the beauty of PL/SQL debuggers, but overlook the critical core features that users often miss out on.

Lot’s of people have asked “How can I setup Toad to run off a flash drive?” The reason for this question varies in nature and intent by requestor – but the general concept is that some users need the ability to carry Toad with them. Some are contractors who must use whatever computer and/or desk is open that day. Some are database developers who must travel around their company to perform or assist w ...

Catchy title – huh? But don’t laugh, in today’s hectic world many database professionals (whether DBA’s or developers – and sometimes even end users) just wish that the Oracle database would go faster. That may seem self evident – but let’s just accept that premise for now. So what does this mean for Toad users?
Toad offers numerous database monitoring, ...

Query Builder is the heart and soul of Toad for Data Analysis. We've spent lots of time and effort working to make it very useful and intuitive. Recently, in version 2.0 of Toad for Data Analysis, we introduced a few new features including reverse engineering SQL to a Query Builder model, creation of DDL scripts and better connection awareness. The linked doc is a very nice write up that Shawn Pickett (Senior Developer) and Alan Bala (Development Team Lead) have put together.

But what if you are currently on a different character set? In Europe we have a bunch of WE8 (Western Europ ...
