Toad Basics
What is Toad? Toad began as a development environment
tool for Oracle. It has developed into a feature-rich program
that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to the Oracle
database for all Oracle users. Using Toad will make you a
more productive developer or DBA. The product makes pro-
gram development faster and easier, and it simplifies data-
base administration.
This section summarizes basic guidelines for using Toad. For
detailed installation instructions, consult the previously
listed Toad documentation sources.
