However, I have heard that Quest Software is more actively developing TOAD than SQL Nav. There is a related thread on the oradev mailing list, read it [here](http://www.freelists.org/archives/oradev/08-2005/msg00008.html). If you have not done so, I also suggest you subscribe to the oradev mailing list, you can do so [here](http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oradev). Dallas,

It's developing into a quite acceptable Toad/SqlPuss/etc alternative! I’ve just revisited JDeveloper after a two year absence. It’s developing into a quite acceptable Toad/SqlPuss/etc alternative!

TOAD's tab interface seems quicker to get to what I want. Command line SQL Plus for long running scripts and iSQLplus in a pinch. I've even used SQLPal on a keychain drive In places where installing an Oracle client is a problem (uses Java).

Another plus is that it runs stand-alone without installing (provided you have an oracle client of course). The latest version on the website is listed as "beta", but has been stable for me.

It's no longer supported, though. The guy who wrote it was hired by Quest. Eventually, I'll have to switch to TOAD. EZ SQL was a slick little interface to Oracle. It’s no longer supported, though.
