Slow queries with no clear cause
The application is waiting for the database. Your team needs a focused way to investigate SQL and PL/SQL bottlenecks.
Database tools for development, administration and analysis.
Quest Toad: More time for development. Less routine work.
Develop and test SQL and PL/SQL, investigate slow code and automate recurring tasks with Toad for Oracle. The Toad family includes other products for additional database platforms and data analysis. heureka helps you select the right product and edition and introduce it to your team.
Recognizable problems
Where does your database team lose time today?
New requirements meet established databases and limited capacity. Start with the work you want to simplify, then identify the Toad product that provides the right tools for it.
The same manual steps every day
Scripts and exports are run manually even though the same steps repeat on a regular basis.
Changes without a shared workflow
Testing, source control and team coordination are not consistently part of the development process.
Many products, an unclear choice
Oracle development, administration across platforms and data analysis require different functions. Product names alone do not make the choice clear.
Current state vs. target state
See what changes when you implement the product with structured support.
Before
When tools and workflows do not fit together
- Recurring database tasks are run separately and manually
- Code reviews and tests vary between team members
- Performance issues are investigated without a clear process
- Product and edition choices are disconnected from daily tasks
After
The goal with Toad and heureka
- Suitable routines are configured as repeatable workflows
- Code reviews, tests and team coordination follow a shared approach
- Relevant queries are investigated against agreed criteria
- Product, edition and rollout match your databases and roles
Use Cases
Typical projects and scenarios
See if your situation matches what this product is designed for.
1
Developing and maintaining Oracle applications
Existing PL/SQL code is difficult to understand. Your team needs to implement changes without carrying unnoticed defects into the next environment.
Toad for Oracle brings development, debugging and utPLSQL testing into one working environment. Team Coding helps coordinate changes with source control.
We review your development workflows, support setup and train your team in the functions relevant to its daily work.
2
Investigating slow queries
An application responds too slowly. Your team needs to determine which queries or PL/SQL sections should be investigated.
The PL/SQL Profiler reveals runtime bottlenecks. Additional optimization tools for evaluating alternative SQL statements are available depending on the edition.
We define the use case and help select suitable tools and evaluation criteria for a trial using your own queries.
3
Reducing manual database routines
Scripts, comparisons and exports are launched separately on a regular basis. Repeated manual steps consume time and make workflows dependent on individuals.
Automation Designer in Toad for Oracle combines recurring steps into shareable workflows that can be scheduled.
Together, we identify suitable routines and address setup, access permissions, documentation and knowledge transfer.
4
Choosing tools for multiple data sources
Developers, administrators and analysts work with different databases. An Oracle tool alone does not automatically cover all of their requirements.
Toad Data Studio addresses technical work across database platforms. Toad Data Point focuses on queries, data preparation and analysis across multiple sources.
We map data sources, roles and tasks, then review the product, edition and requirements for a useful evaluation with you.
