Re: best third-party tools

I use the free version of toad, http://www.toadsoft.com/, for PLSQL editing, executing SQL statements, and basic database administration. I've been relatively happy with it and find it very full featured for a free tool. The paid version has more features (e.g. object browser), but I've gotten by without them.

While Toad's free, toadsoft requires you to download a new copy every 60 days or so. We've found some small bugs in the last new downloads, which is a bit annoying (and will motivate us to pay for it soon, so we can upgrade at leisure). Overall it seems like a good product written by a talented and hardworking programmer.

Note: you can get the free toad at either http://www.toadsoft.com/ or http://www.quest.com/ . One of our programmers downloaded it from quest and got a slew of marketing calls afterward.
