Toad for Oracle – Simply the Best!
“We recently upgraded from Toad for Oracle
Professional to Toad for Oracle Xpert, which
includes the SQL Optimizer. It was amazing.
It reduced the time for tuning SQL
statements from hours or days, to minutes.
We had complex queries executed across
database links that were taking an
unacceptable 10 minutes, and with SQL
Optimizer we were able to reduce it to .09
seconds.”
— Wendy Penfold, Programmer Analyst

Toad for Oracle – Simply the Best!
“Toad usually saves us at least 10 hours a
week in troubleshooting problems. And its
clear graphical representation of system
status and problem areas helps us explain the
issues to less technical end user colleagues
and managers. We can give them details on
the situation in minutes, as opposed to
spending hours in meetings.”
– Louisa Tripp, Database Administrator
