we're currently looking into this, too Our developers like TOAD, but the licensing cost is pretty steep - $700 a pop for the most pared down version. Quest was willing to offer us a one-time half-price offer, but for the 50 users we were considering it still comes out to over $15,000.
PL/SQL Developer does basically everything TOAD does (that our developers do, at least) - explain plans, autotrace, stats, etc. - but with a price cap of $3,000 for unlimited user license it's very attractive. Their email support is pretty good, too - never wait more than a few hours for a response, usually by the same guy. All in all pretty good bang for the buck, and we'll probably end up purchasing it this week or next. I've also looked at Embarcadero's Rapid SQL, which I personally prefer over all the others, but the price is in the same league as TOAD. BMC has product that I haven't really looked into, but I think pricewise it's up there. One note about the Freeware version of TOAD - it has some internal thing that limits it to 5 concurrent connections to the same db, which is a problem for us in a dev shop. -bill -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 8:18 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L PL/SQL Developer. http://www.allroundautomations.nl/plsqldev.html very very good. -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]En nombre de Ofer Harel Enviado el: miércoles, 28 de agosto de 2002 9:13 Para: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Asunto: RE: PL/SQL Editor Try free Toad at http://www.toadsoft.com/downld.html regards Ofer Harel DBA team Barak ITC [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 8:33 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi All, which is the best PL/SQL editor available as a trial version . the editor should support Oracle sql,PL/SQL and may or may not support debugging.
