Hi Fred,
Best thing to do may be to go to Quest and try it out. You can get a 30-day trial for free. If you contact a sales rep and ask nicely, they may extend it. But, 30 days to test out your scenarios isn't a bad deal.
And no, I don't work for Quest.

Subject: RE: Managing developers recommendations
Regarding the versions, are you referring to "Toad for Oracle" and "Toad for Oracle Professional"?
In the version I tested there are lists of all schemas in the database, and their associated objects. How would this look if the developer does not have the required priviledges? (Would they receive an error that they can't select from dba_objects? etc.?)
Thanks for the input!
