Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Toad vs SQL Navigator
Ah... You are correct that Golden and PLEDIT are not tools that compare to TOAD or SQLNAV but that does not mean that there are not excellent tools... For years I was a die hard SQL*Plus fan... A SQL*Plus bigot you might say... I avoiding tools like TOAD and stuck to the command line... A couple years ago, I used PLEDIT for some light PL/SQL work and it did a great job... Sure, TOAD or SQLNAV are much better ( debuggers etc ) but they are overkill for a hacker like myself... But, on my latest contract I did quite a bit more PL/SQL than usual... And, I decided that I REALLY liked PLEDIT... So, I gave Golden a try... And, after using Golden for a few weeks, I can not think of life without it... I am still a command line guy and Golden is like a improved SQL*Plus... I *love* the workspace feature... The run sheet options ( whole sheet, here to end of sheet, current line ) that operate with function keys... The favorites pulldown... Support for DBMS_OUTPUT... And the support for SQL*Plus commands ( like spool )... Golden is a query tool... Not a "all in one" tool like TOAD... But, IMHO, it is a very good query tool for those SQL*Plus bigots like myself...

PS - Plus, since I had to buy it myself, I loved the price... :-)

I just downloaded and testdrove Golden. Egad. Not even close to any of the Quest tools. There's so much it's lacking that I don't have the time to make a list.
If you're gonna use that, just download the freeware version of TOAD from http://www.toadsoft.com So much better with so many more features and usability, IMHO. Of course, I'm using a fully registered version (as well as a beta). :)

My answer is always the same... Neither! :-)
Instead, try Golden from Benthic Software (www.benthicsoftware.com). It's easy to try it without buying it, just use the annoyware.
Also try PLEDIT as a PL/SQL development environment.
It serves our purposes very well, and at 35$ it completely demolishes it's competition for cost/benefit.
