Toad Pocket Reference for Oracle
Toad is a constantly evolving product. It has had several
upgrades each year since 1995. At the time this pocket refer-
ence went to press, the current version of Toad was
Version 8.5. In order to be useful to as many users as possi-
ble, this book focuses on the product’s continuing core func-
tionality.
