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.Comment

Oracle provide a similiar tool to TOAD used to be called Raptor.

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

Tora - An open source fork of TOAD as I understand it. Regardless, it's pretty sweet and cross-platform too, unlike TOAD.Last edited by Cowboy Bob; 31 August 2006, 08:06.Comment

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