很早就聽說Toad功能很強大，一直沒有使用過，因爲PLSQL Developer就很好用。前幾天看見同事優化Oracle就是用的Toad，有一些很強大的管理功能，於是再一次對Toad產生興趣，收集了一些資料備忘。
關於Toad版本的介紹
Toad for Oracle -- 基礎版

It allows you to visually create queries and execute them, construct and manage database objects, share project assets such as templates, scripts, and code snippets, with other team members using Project Manager, record workflow steps and play them back later with Action Recall and profile your PL/SQL code to find performance bottlenecks and check for code coverage. Toad for Oracle also has its own team collaboration utility called Team Coding. Team Coding works with Toad's editor to control code access.
