Before TOAD supported other platforms, it was T.O.A.D., an acronym expanded to the words in the article title. It is arguably similar to SQL Navigator in usablility. Each has their own quirks, although I would give some credit to Quest for putting good usability features into TOAD. It doesn't quite have the usability of say the Opera web browser, but you can tell that there are developer-minded usability features in there. DB Artisan on the other hand is a rather generic program that does a good job for DBA's with Oracle, but has awkward usability for those developing SQL. I think it's good to see TOAD there, though it's not unexpected. Fri, 30 Jun 2006 01:57:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (joecool) Comments
