Toad for Oracle 10 is Coming: Quest Announces Open Beta for Next Generation of De-facto Standard Oracle Tool

News Facts:

  • Quest Software (Nasdaq: QSFT) today announced the forthcoming release of Toad® for Oracle version 10, the de-facto standard tool for Oracle development and administration. Toad 10 will offer new functionality enhancements that the Toad community has been asking for, providing improved productivity, better database manageability and easier access to educational resources.
  • Toad users spoke, and Quest listened. Toad for Oracle 10 is the culmination of suggestions gathered from the Toad community’s ‘wish list,’ incorporating many development, administration, platform and educational enhancements:
    • Development: enhanced development best practices functionality through a new schema ER diagram reporting window, and editing enhancements with a built-in SQL performance tuning methodology.
    • Administration: greater manageability and automation, including the ability to perform multiple tasks between multiple instances, and a single console to manage server, database and schema compare and synchronization.
    • Platform: greater usability with an enhanced graphical interface utilizing new data grids and Unicode support.
    • Education: direct access to Toad community resources in Toad World so users can quickly gain the knowledge they need to solve everyday problems in their organization.
  • Toad 10 is expected to release in October, but anyone interested in test-driving the new release is invited to download the beta today! Join the Toad for Oracle beta program at www.toadsoft.com/beta.html to experiment with Toad’s new features and follow the product’s development. Because this is the beginning of the Toad 10 beta cycle, testers should visit often to see the new functionality as it is gradually incorporated into the product – there are weekly updates!
  • Tell Us What You Think: Quest is very responsive to user feedback and aims to incorporate suggestions from the community into product development whenever possible. After downloading the Toad 10 beta, testers are encouraged to visit Toad World, where they can participate in discussions about Toad 10 and access additional information about the new release.
