Re: TOAD question-I feel dumb asking ..

Hi Sam,
This depends. If you have 'ordinary' OEM, you don't have the performance pack, which seems to be expensive.
With Toad you can do at least some diagnosis. It's a while ago I have been using Data-architect, so I don't know whether it comes with PL/SQL facilities.
Probably not as it is an multi database product. For me the main reason to work with Toad or Sqlnavigator is the lack of PL/SQL programming facilities in the standard Oracle kit. I know procedure builder (tool in Developer) and I don't like it.

Hth,
