Toad is a best-of-breed productivity solution for developers, DBAs and analysts SQL Server Repeatedly named #1 in database development and optimization by IDC1 Hadoop Eclipse Oracle DB2 Similar user experience across different DB platforms MySQL Cloud NoSQL Sybase Over 2 million users, and 3 million visitors to online community Toad World toadworld.com When it comes to Toad, we really focus on fact that it is a set of productivity tools. They are easy to install, connect to databases and get to work. With 2 million users and 3 million community visitors, Toad is the market leader. The evolution of Toad began over 15 years ago. It was a freeware tool which competed directly against SQL Navigator. Quest purchased it in 1998 because it was gaining market share quickly. At that time, Toad had around 40,000 users, in large part to the fact that users were able to make recommendations, which were added to the next release, quickly. So, Toad did community development before it was cool. We soon discovered many requests from users to have a Toad for other DB platforms, so we began to develop Toad for SQL Server, then DB2, and followed that with MySQL. By 2005 we had over a million users, then discovered that developers weren’t the only ones using Toad, so we developed an edition specifically for DBAs, alongside the Development Suite for developer best practices. Oracle released a free tool called Raptor in 2006 to claim the market from Toad. Now called SQL Developer, it continues to give us competitive pressure. After conducting research with our customer base, we discovered that we were losing a segment of our base to SQL Developer, they called themselves Analysts and we set out to build a tool specifically for Analysts and gave it away with every Toad license. Today, we support over 10 database platforms, with flavors for both traditional and NoSQL database platforms, so people who are invesetigating the newer databases in the Cloud can use a familiar tool. 1.

Toad for Oracle – Simply the Best! “We recently upgraded from Toad for Oracle Professional to Toad for Oracle Xpert, which includes the SQL Optimizer. It was amazing. It reduced the time for tuning SQL statements from hours or days, to minutes. We had complex queries executed across database links that were taking an unacceptable 10 minutes, and with SQL Optimizer we were able to reduce it to .09 seconds.” — Wendy Penfold, Programmer Analyst Ithaca College Help guarantee application success by employing a database development best practices methodology that encompasses code quality, performance and maintainability. Ensure high quality code is delivered to production Maximize SQL performance, to reduce bottlenecks and avoid service interruptions Reduce maintenance costs through coding standards and testing Collaborate among team members and leverage their expertise and existing work Maximize productivity to meet deadlines through automation, templates and intuitive interfaces

Toad for Oracle – Simply the Best! “Toad usually saves us at least 10 hours a week in troubleshooting problems. And its clear graphical representation of system status and problem areas helps us explain the issues to less technical end user colleagues and managers. We can give them details on the situation in minutes, as opposed to spending hours in meetings.” – Louisa Tripp, Database Administrator State of Vermont Improve operational efficiency to lower costs through a systematic approach that automates maintenance, ensures optimal performance and mitigates the impact of planned changes. Ensure maintainability through task automation, reducing the risk of inconsistencies Maximize performance by accurately diagnosing and efficiently resolving inefficiencies Understand the impact of changes to reduce risk before deployment Work more productively and be more proactive with workflow automation, consistent processes and greater accuracy
