    Oracle front-end tool

    Can anybody recommend any good ones, suitable for database development? I'd usually go for Toad, but it costs about $1500 so I've decided to be open to suggestions.

    I'm a Microsoft man, but also very warm hearted as anyone here will tell you.

    That's why I thought I'd point out that Oracle have a free tool.

    PS. Switch to MS SQL Server 2005. You know it makes sense.

      Thanks DP (and sorry, I just ate a curryfull of your fellow prawns!)

      I've had a little go at that, and I think it will serve my purposes nicely. I'm 5 months behind the times.

      Let nobody say that this board is anything other than a super source of helpfulness.

      I did a bit of a switch from SQL Server to Oracle about 3 years ago. But you have a point. SQL Server has properly got its act together at last, and loads of companies are switching in that direction.

        I didnt realise you had to pay for it.

            Raptor was the beta name, Oracle SQL Developer is the full free version. A very decent tool, well worth using.

              Tora - An open source fork of TOAD as I understand it. Regardless, it's pretty sweet and cross-platform too, unlike TOAD.

                IMHO PL/SQL Developer is the best tool on the market for Oracle server-side development. It's priced at $180.
