I have used TOAD, SQLNavigator and SQLProgrammer (BMC). TOAD is OK. It gets the work done. However I found SQLNavigator and SQLProgrammer to have more robust and generally better features.

SQLProgrammer may currently be the lesser expensive solution. I believe it is now more than TOAD but less than SQLNavigator. It is very good for doing most dba activity -- adding columns, indexes, grants, etc AND the debugger (as of IX ) was quite excellent.

TOAD ( softtoad.com ) is its shareware form is hard to beat in terms of price to performance ( free to near free ).
