Need a lift?

There is good news - it is simply under-reported.

If you think about it, there is probably more good news than bad. It just isn't in the news.

GoodNewsNetwork.org.

As far as I can tell, it is apolitical. Whew.

Upgrade info and a must-read book.
News

-          Beta users, you are most likely using the last public beta (should expire mid-October).

-          We are putting the wraps on 11.6, to be delivered to management the end of August (fast approaching), to go public the first week of October.
Go team!
Upgrade Me
Ready for 11.6? What - not on 11.5 yet?

We feel for our users who work in large firms where it can be challenging for IT departments to deploy companywide upgrades. We also know cost-cutting measures sometimes have management considering alternatives.
Once they understand the cost-saving and time-saving benefits of Toad, they realize using Toad and upgrading are in their best corporate interests.
Of course our Developers want to see you using the latest and greatest. They work so hard and really are committed to making your lives easier.
So if you are not yet using 11.5 (our current GA version) pass this on, and thanks.
TechRepublic<http://www.techrepublic.com/whitepapers/toad-for-oracle-115-more-powerful-than-ever/4235821?tag=content;siu-container> reports on Toad for Oracle 11.5.
Database Trends and Applications<http://www.dbta.com/Articles/Editorial/News-Flashes/Breaking-News---Quest-Toad-for-Oracle-11-Offers-Enhancements-to-Reduce-Risk-77840.aspx> reports on Toad for Oracle 11.0.
There are also many videos on YouTube demonstrating what's new in 11.5. Check them out, and thanks for watching.
Book for Greater Data
Already have this? What's your favorite part?
You don't need much time to read this week's issue, and that's good, because you need time to read the book mentioned on our Beta list this week:
[http://netdna.copyblogger.com/images/email-bottle.jpg]"A new set of scripts has been uploaded to the Toad World Repository. (Coming in 11.6.) They are from Guy Harrison's book entitled 'Oracle Performance Survival Guide.'"
"In case you've not bought nor read this book - it's simply the single best tome on Oracle performance ever written...."

You were new once, too, and look at you now!
What questions do you have for the list? Go ahead and ask - we are not the poisonous variety of toad.



Make this a great weekend,
