For this article, I reviewed the Development Suite, which is available as a free trial.įigure 1: Toad for SQL Server's GUI. Toad for SQL Server Xpert, $1,045, adds T-SQL tuning wizards and capabilities, and Toad for SQL Server Development Suite, $1,295, adds benchmarking capabilities. The Professional Version costs $595 and, in my mind, provides the best cost to value ratio. There are three versions of Toad for SQL Server. After working with Toad for SQL Server for a few days, I'm finding myself thinking about making the switch. Service packs and SQL Server 2008 have ameliorated my sentiments a bit, and SSMS is much better than the tools that ship with most other database platforms, but I've long wondered whether I'd jump ship if I could find another suitable product that met my needs. To me, it's always felt like a last-minute decision made by marketing folks who were more interested in forcing the "Studio" branding than developer and DBA productivity. I've never been that impressed with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
