Re: FW: SQL Developer vs toad for oracle

I'd nearly forgotten the headache of trying to support my analysts running
SQL Dev until now....[shudder]

I especially loved how the analyst would craft a necessarily nasty ad hoc in
SQL Dev, sometimes taking an hour to run in our development environments. 
When they would go to save the data from the grid, SQL Dev would have to
re-execute the whole friggin query!  REALLY??!??  Of course, they would call
me for help.  It ended up that any ad hoc of any size just got passed to me
and my sole copy of Toad to run.

It took less than 5 minutes to convince our CIO to get a handful of licenses
for Toad...

My analysts don't do PL/SQL.  They use SQL either to troubleshoot problems
or for a one-off data request.  The single favorite Toad item has been the
F8 SQL history.  I thought that there was something like that in SQL Dev,
but apparently Toad's much better at it.  :)

Oh there are many more sordid tales of SQL D...
