Introduction

This book is a quick reference designed to help Oracle end

users (data analysts, developers, designers, DBAs, etc.)

become better users of Toad for Oracle. It is aimed at both

features available in the Toad for Oracle product

• A handy quick reference to common functions and short-

cut keys, as well as recommended changes to default

options

• A summary of helpful usage hints, tips, and cautionary

notes

The material presented here applies to both commercial and

freeware versions of Toad for Oracle.

TIP

The official name of the product described in this pocket

reference is Toad for Oracle. For simplicity, we generally

use the term “Toad,” but unless specifically stated, that

term refers to Toad for Oracle.
