Developer’s Description

By Quest Software

See objects from any database on a server instance and display detailed information for each object.

The Toad Object Explorer allows you to effortlessly see objects from any database on a server instance and display detailed information for each object selected. The advanced data grid allows data entry or deletion, as well as the ability to filter, sort, or group the data to your specifications. Performing multiple server administration from a single interface is fast, accurate, and easy by accessing our security migrations dialogue box, or from our compare and synchronize tool for database, servers, and data. These changes can be implemented across multiple databases immediately, or saved to a script and executed in our powerful SQL Editor interface. This is an invaluable time saver, and beneficial to any administrator managing multiple machines. Toad's SQL Optimization for SQL Server is the most comprehensive tuning solution available for SQL Server environments. The SQL Optimization component offers complete SQL performance optimization with problematic SQL detection, automated SQL optimization, and benchmarking capabilities.

I use this product on a daily basis, great tool!
dchristian2112February 24, 2014
Pros
Strong feature set Better UI than SSMS
Cons
Many features only available in paid version
Summary
This is a great product and I use it on a daily basis. Don't believe the reviews complaining about bugs, those reviews are for versions from 5-6 years ago. The later versions are very solid and it is a great product.
it is slow and it is crashing
catalinarhipMay 5, 2011
Pros
none really for me.
Cons
The actual compare tool did not work, as it could not connect to the server, while the main window was connected and was querying fine.
Summary
This was the most frustrating experience in trying out a product. I needed a database compare tool, and this one could not connect to the server while the main window connected just fine. The help says "This is an advanced task, and we do not have full steps in here", while not giving the full steps anywhere else. I spent about 4 hours trying to make work a functionality that is supposed to work instantly. A company I worked for in the past used this to generate sync scripts and 80 times out of 100 they did not work, they needed an hour or two of manual edits to make them work. From that, it seems they got to a point where the tool cannot even connect to a database. Save yourself some time and avoid the frustration. This product is not worth it.
Very Buggy, Very slow initialization time
crypro2008November 1, 2008
Pros
This should be a very good software, it has a lot for nice features, very good "father" , Toad for oracle is a great product
Cons
Slow initialization and first connect time A lot of bugs and exceptions during work hangs many times and need to be restarted. no support for the free version
Summary
Use it carefully. look for a better product or a more mature version. the commercial product has the same problems.

Not Free, Doesn't Work
ooglekJanuary 22, 2006
Pros
Nothing, couldn't run it.
Cons
After a long install process, you get an error saying "The Freeware period has expired. Please visit Quest's website to download the latest version." On their website Toad is not free, but Trial-ware. <p> <p>Misinformation sucks. Don't support this company.
Summary
"Free" pre-expired software with 60 day Trial?
MC.DBAMay 5, 2005
Pros
Cons
I was unable to get the software to work with NT authentication, then after going through the effort of changing the security settings on SQL and connected to the database, the freshly downloaded software reported that it was expired by -273 days and a "newer" version needed to be downloaded. What a waste of time!
Summary
Decent product for free offering

Pros
Cons
Summary
I like the ability to navigate around the database in the Data Browser but I like the query editing (intellisense, srcsafe, etc) and other capabilities available in msSQLed. I've only tested against SQL 2000, if it works with MSDE would be great to give around as free tool against MSDE.
Excellent I no longer use the built sql server tools
