Couple of Questions (for both our benefit)

• How many people using

– Toad 9.7.2.5 ( most / over-half / half / under-half )

– Toad 9.6.1.0– Oracle 10g– Oracle 11g– Current on Maintenance– Toad Free Information & Collaboration

• www.ToadWorld.com• www.AskToad.com• Toad Yahoo Discussion Groups

Couple of Cool Facts (for your benefit)

• Toad 9.6 made the “PL/SQL Debugger” part of Standard Toad version, thus no longer requires purchasing Toad Professional just for debugger

• Toad 9.7 gives you a free copy (for the same user) of our new Toad for Data Analysis – the multi-database version of Toad aimed more at people who work with the data, and who often try to use lesser tools like MS Excel

• There is still a Toad freeware (www.toadsoft.com) and we’re planning a significant update to it in 2009

Demo

• Will use Toad 9.7.2.5 (latest & greatest GA version)

• Will try to focus on three different user “personas”

– Oracle SQL and/or PL/SQL Developer

– Oracle Database Administrator (DBA)

– Business Analyst (less technical business user)

• Will show lots of feature breadth for 3 personas

• Will show some feature depth for 3 personas

• Will make sure to say what comes with what bundle
