Microsoft's .NET technology provides the ability to quickly build, deploy, manage, and use connected, security-enhanced solutions. Leveraging this technology, Quest can rapidly develop scalable applications that are agile enough to meet current and future needs.

The original Toad for Oracle application was written in Delphi, and some of its components cannot view Unicode data. Delphi does not plan to support Unicode data. Internationalization is a major priority and concern for Quest, and C# provides us with this functionality out of the box. Microsoft .Net also provides improved support for side-by-side installs and allows for a more complete uninstall of components. In addition, it was also an easier transition to move from Delphi to C# rather than port existing code to C++.

SQL Azure Support

Access to the newest cloud-based database solution from Microsoft.

Auto Replace SQL

Create a list of frequently misspelled words or substitute terms that when typed, are replaced by the full text phrase or a complete statement. This is also useful if you want to use shortcut terms to populate your code with a larger amount of frequently used code.

Code Completion Templates

Create custom, complex templates that contain line feeds, substitution variables, and position indicators that can be invoked from the Editor.

Code Snippets

DBA Queries.

SQL Recall

Add recently executed SQL statements to the Editor.

SQL Editor

One Click Export to Excel.

Group Execute

Execute one or more scripts in the Editor against multiple servers or multiple databases on a server.

Project Manager

Easily organize your work area using projects and subprojects. Each item in the tree is a node that points to a different object.
Combine several different connections into one project to make it easy to upload, download, and manage the objects in your databases.

Code Formatter

Quickly modify the layout of your code in the Editor, including inserting headers, adding or removing extra lines, and changing the case for keywords.

Source Control

Check out, check in, and add or remove objects from version control directly from within Toad.

T-SQL Debugger

Code and debug the way you work — line-by-line and statement-by-statement — without having to change normal application execution or use cumbersome work-arounds.
Step through code one line at a time as it executes on the server; and set conditional breakpoints.

Compare and Synchronize Servers, Schemas, and Data

Compare and synchronize server configurations, database structures, and data across multiple servers so you can safely migrate changes from development through testing to production servers.

SQL Optimizer

Improve system performance by quickly and efficiently optimizing SQL by eliminating errors and decreasing time needed to resolve performance issues.

Surround With

Take script in the Editor and "surround" it with a Code Completion Template.

Job Management

Manage and schedule SQL Server jobs in an Outlook-style view.

Automation

Design workflows visually for particular tasks to be run or be scheduled to be run later.

Maintenance Plan Designer

Use a single interface for managing 2000, 2005 and 2008 maintenance plans.
