One can love or hate Schema Browser depending on the layout. May be some of you have found a similar view with another tool – for me it’s unique in the market! But it has one genius feature: One view on many databases: You can simply select databases (regardless if they are Pluggable databases or single databases, on one or several servers) and get an overview on the parameters, sessions or datafile I/O. Long ago this tool was introduced and – to be honest – I didn’t use it at all. I’m not only able to easily find objects but can manage my favorite Multitenant database as well. But with the extended functionality of the Oracle database Toad became more and more a Swiss knife for DBAs.
Toad still has a simple Editor with a very comfortable data grid. But in 1999 I had the pleasure working with a tool which was intended to help Oracle PL/SQL developers: Tool for Oracle Application Development (T.O.A.D).Įven for DBAs Toad already helped because of the simple Editor, the schema browser and of course the data grids which were much more readable than the SQL*Plus output. SQL*Plus is of course the most important one because it’s available from the beginning and replaced sqldba and later on srvmgrl. Starting in the early 90th on DEC VMS with a VT-100 terminal I’ve worked with many different tools. For more than 20 years my profession is the Oracle database administration.
