“But it’d be much better without those pains, IMO*. “
*IMO = “in my opinion”
According to Wikipedia, this is called, “SMS language or textese (also known as txt-speak, txtese, chatspeak, txt, txtspk, txtk, txto, texting language, txt lingo, SMSish, txtslang,or txt talk).”
Think this is unrelated to Toad? Au contraire! Toad is moving into the next generation with new mobile components.
You may not need “textese,” but it can’t hurt to be up on these things so we can understand the next generation of Toad users.

You were new once, too, and look at you now
Have you mastered this simple and very useful function?
“Best feature? Export to Excel or HTML Table. I love the way I can write a query, export the results to excel or drop the HTML on the clipboard, paste it into a email and off it goes.

How about this?
“…11.5 where they improved the Import Table Data functionality.

-          I had some imports that used to take over 10 minutes to upload.

-          They now import in just a few seconds.
This feature alone ensures that I would never go back to a version prior to 11.5.”
Power Users

Who are our power users? You are!

Favorite feature?

“In a word, unicode.”

Check out this blog post for…”solutions to two symptoms we commonly hear from Toad for Oracle customers: Invalid characters in the data grids and invalid characters in the Editor.”
