Differences between TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?

Does someone know the advantages and disadvantages of using TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?
I work making reports with TOAD, but in a few days I will have to use the SQL Developer (because it´s free) unless I justify the necessity of using TOAD.
Could some that used both compare them?
Thanks,
Facundo.

Hello Facundo,
since we are rolling out new client PCs we switch from Toad to SQL Developer. Therefore I'm doing some training for the "normal" users and our developers.
Most users simply want to have access to the data in tables and views. For those there are 2 main issues:
- Filters get lost when exiting table while sorting is still applied. Since there is no way to apply filtering before entering the data tab this can become a great performance issue because sorting is applied to many many rows. For views it is sometimes impossible to open the data tab.
- Exporting date values to Excel needs some know how if you want to sort by this column in Excel, because the date is formatted as "Standard" meaning that the sorting is done as for a text column: 01.01.2009 is less than 02.01.2008. Here you have to use a workaround column with a formula (=1*<datecolumn>)
The greatest Pro is the easy sharing of connections and reports by XML files.
Our developers like the easy debugging in SQL Developer. Though they miss the feature that the source is compiled for debug automatically as in Toad. For this we have distributed a script that compiles any PL/SQL object for debugging.
There are only some Toads installed for DBAs and for users that need access to tables protected by policies that require authentification by OS user since this information is not passed under every circumstance.
Regards
Marcus

  • Terminology differences between MSSQL 2005/2008 and Oracle 11g

    I'm looking for some articles/books/webinars/blogs which discuss the terminology differences between MSSQL 2005/2008 and Oracle 11g in terms of database concepts. I have found this article http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/SQL+Server/67007 so far.
    Thanks.

    Thanks sb92075. Those returned results are almost all related to compare the features/functionalities between MSSQL and Oracle not to distinguish the terminology differences between them.

  • Difference between BPC for MS and BPC for NW

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for some comparative analysis between BPC for MS and BPC for NW. Can you please give me your points or direct me to some link/material where I can find such stuff.
    Primarily I'm focusing on following two points:
    - How would the integration to SAP BI work (=differences between SAP BPC (NW) and SAP BPC (MS))?
    Could the same degree of automation be established?
    - I was told that  SAP BPC (MS) could be much faster implemented than the NW version. Is this really the case? Why?
    I would really appreciate your earliest response.
    Regards,
    Shabbar

    Hi,
    BPC for MS runs on Microsoft platform where as BPC for NW runs on SAP Netweaver.
    BPC for NW is tightly integrated with SAP BI all the dimensions and applications created in BPC NW can be seen in BI system in the form of Infoobject (dimensions) and Infocubes (applications).
    Performance depends on the complexity and scalability of the project. BPC for NW may undergo lots of improvements and developments in future versions.
    search SDN u will get help.
    Hope this helps

  • Difference between mastered for iTunes and previous versions?

    Is there a noticeable difference between Mastered for iTunes albums and any previous versions? I purchased Bon Jovi's "Have A Nice Day (Special Edition)", and now it has been replaced with a Mastered for iTunes version. Is there any value or noticeable difference if I were to purchase the new version?

    One of the inexpensive compilation downloads I purchased on iTunes was terrible, I'd much rather listen to the original mix of " I had too much to dream last night" than the remaster, which destroyed the song completely.
    Well, there is really no way to improve on the sound of The Electric Prunes coming over an AM transistor radio!
    I guess I'm suspicious of iTunes files in general. I am a dying breed, using separate amps and pre-amps and real speakers as well as Ultimate Ear earbuds and a great car system. The cuts that are engineered for iTunes are mixed for lo-fidelity appliances and just don't sound that good.
    There are online download stores that cater to a more audiophile crowd.  Check out HD Tracks.

  • What is the difference between mp4 for iphone and mp4 for ipod ?

    I have converted some videos to mp4 and there is a choice to convert to iphone or ipod.
    But what is the difference between them ?
    It cant just be something simple like screen size / resolution.
    Because I have some mp4 videos that will sync with itunes onto my iphone, but not onto my ipod 5th gen.
    Do you have to have both types of mp4 videos, one for the iphone and one for the ipod ?
    If so then thats a right pain the in arse.
    I would have thought mp4 is mp4 and would work on both the iphone and the ipod ?

    There is no difference because as you said Java is platform independenec. However, the installer is platform-dependent so we needed to package the Beans differently.
    All the java classes and libraries are identical

  • Differences between CC for Mac and CC for Windows

    Hello,
    I just read here in the forum that possibilities regarding app-making in InDesign are limited when you are a Windows user. Seems like the "Create App"-possibility is for mac users only. Terry White made a very good video about app-making, but failed to mention that you needed not only CC (or CS6), but also a Mac.
    Be that as it may, I would like to know if there is a list somewhere, describing in detail the differences between possibilities and options on CC for Windows compared to CC on a Mac.
    And - if there is no list, can anyone tell me the differences?
    Regards,
    MikHva

    Thanks for the answer. I can see that I messed up formulating the last entry - what we are about to do is upgrade from CS6 to CC.
    Maybe you could help me with a related question. The last few days I have been searching for alternatives to builing my apps in InDesign, and I turned to Dreamweaver. I copied the CSS  from InDesign to dreamweaver, fixed the content and made my app work through my 1 phonegap build-project (the InDesign version looked better, though) - but getting on fra Dreamweaver to Android and iOS involves Phonegap.
    I can see that Adobe has developed the Adobe Phonegap Build. Is that a program (app) that I can acces after subscribing to the Creative Cloud? A friend of mine has the CC-version and I asked if she had acces to install Adobe Phonegap Build, but it was not on her list of programs to install.
    - As things look right now we might be going for a Pro or Enterprise version - but I haven't figured out the difference between the two yet - I've been busy with Dreamweaver.
    Sincerely and with thanks,
    MikHva

  • Difference between release for Transport and Export

    Hi,
    can anybody tell me the difference between the release for Transport of a change list and the Export Design Object ? When a change list is released is it not possible to select File System as mode or CMS ?
    Thx.

    These relate to how your transport system is configured.
    If you use FTP you cannot release for transport, and if you have CMS, I don;t beleive you can FTP.
    Release Transfer
    Transfer design objects within an Integration Repository from one software component version to another.

  • What is difference between Numbers for Mac and for iPod Touch?

    Trying to decide pros/cons of getting Numbers for my iMac vs. just for my iPod Touch? Obviously, one is cheaper than the other.  Dumb question, but I guess I cannot use Numbers downloaded from App Store on my iMac; just on my iPod Touch?  And, can I just buy Numbers for iMac; seems only option is to buy as part of package under iWorks (don't need Pages or Keynote for the home).

    (1) Numbers for iOS and Numbers for OSX are completely different products building files using the same format.
    (2) You may buy Numbers as a single application thru Mac App Store. The application Mac App Store is delivered with Lion.

  • Cp 8.0.1,What difference between "Publish for Devices" and "Publish for Devices (App) ?

    i think "Publish for Devices" and "Publish for Devices (App). it same.
    "Publish for Devices (App)" for easy connect phonegap.
    "Publish for Devices"  for advance user.
    not sure you understand but i only share.

    Publish for Devices (App) is to publish your captivate project as a native application using PhoneGap API.
    Publish for Devices is the normal html publish but for Responsive project. It will publish your project as html content and later you can upload it on some LMS or WebServer to view the content on devices using Browser. It has not nothing to do about advance users.
    In both the cases the content will change according to the size of the viewing device.

  • What are the Basic Differences between Oracle and  MS-SQL server Database?

    Hello,
            anybody pls Guide me about the Differences between Oracle and MS-SQL server Database.and also IBM Databases also
    Regards,
    Balaram

    SQL Server only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
    In comparison with SQL Server , OracleDatabase supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.
    The SQL Server  advantages:
    SQL Server  holds the top TPC-C performance and price/performance results.
    SQL Server  is generally accepted as easier to install, use and manage.
    The Oracle  Database advantages:
    Oracle  Database supports all known platforms, not only the Windows-based platforms.
    PL/SQL is more powerful language than T-SQL.
    More fine-tuning to the configuration can be done via start-up parameters.

  • What is the differences between the older version of Oracle Financials and the 11 i

    What is the differences between the older version of Oracle Financials and 11i?

    Vijay,Thanks for your answer,but I am still not clear about it,I have a instance to describe my question at detail.
        If there is a final product A, and the planning strategy for A is 20(MTO), the procurement type of A is F(external procurement) at the view mrp2 in the material master datas.
    step1: I creat a sales order.
    step2: run MRP for A.
    step3: transfer the purchase requistion into a purchase order,and the field of acc.***.cat. in the purchase order will be filled out M automatically, because the acc.***.cat. in the planning strategy 20(MTO) is set with E.
        Well, the purchase order is created, what is the relationship between the sales order and the purchase order? What will be happened about costing between the SO and the PO?
        If I delete the E, I make the PO become a standard PO, what is difference between standard PO and the PO including E?

  • Real-Time Data Sync-up between Oracle and MS SQL Server

    Hi All,
    I am looking for a solution to sync-up the data between Oracle and MS SQL Server in real time. Here, the structure of table is different (in the sense, the data in multiple table in SQL Server should be combined and put it in a single table in Oracle and vice versa).
    Could anybody throw light on this plz?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad

    Hi
    I want to know difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad ..while i am running a query execute as statement is taking about 3 seconds and if i run with execute as a script its taking long time..Which one i need to consider.

    I want to know difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad ..while i am running a query execute as statement is taking about 3 seconds and if i run with execute as a script its taking long time..Which one i need to consider.Firstly, this is not a TOAD forum. TOAD is a 3rd party tool developed by Quest Software, so really your question does not belong here.
    However...
    When you execute a query as a statement then toad itself opens the cursor against the database and issues the statement, fetching the rows as they are needed to display in it's interface. You say it takes only about 3 second to run, but the chances are that you haven't scrolled the result window down to the last record, for which I'm sure you'd find it takes a little longer.
    When you execute a query as a script, TOAD passes the query out to be run in SQL*Plus rather than from within TOAD itself. With SQL*Plus, it runs the whole statement fetching all the rows before returning control, the same as if you had scrolled to the end of the result set in TOAD.
    In reality there should be no difference in the time it takes to execute the statements to completion in either environment.
