IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Toad is the best tool for SQL development, you can have thousands of tables and the indexation and current searches work fantastic, if I had to describe it in one word it should be fast.
Pros
- Import/Export function where we are able to export the data in any of the format like .csv, xlsx, .txt etc., according to the number of rows required.
- Database diagram - Easily able to generate the database diagram which will shows the relationship between objects.
- Toad automation scripts and formatting SQL scripts for developer.
- Transform function and cleansing the data.
Cons
- License Key is costly since we have to pay rather than open-ended tool.
- Some of the SQL commands are still not recognized by Toad like (NOSQL), PIVOT etc.
- Reporting will not be exact since this is not owned by database production. An example of that is SSRS reports run by Microsoft.
Likelihood to Recommend
What I think is the best in this software is that it has a complete environment to work within the data base, you don't have to work with other tools. This is the form you have to work in, there you can see from a field of a table to the database relation, which is really complete. Backing up the databases is pretty easy, and you can restore it also in a few clicks.
