TOAD for SQL Server

TOAD for SQL Server aims to provide the Microsoft SQL server users with a graphical interface for handling frequent operations. It is designed for the database server administrators and intends to improve their efficiency during the daily tasks.

The application allows you to configure multiple SQL Server connections and explore the content of the database. A new connection to the database is automatically created by the Editor when you run a query or execute a statement.

You can create complex scripts and execute them with the Editor tool which supports syntax highlighting and automatic code completion. It can also validate the query syntax before executing the SQL code.

In order to save time you can run the query on more than one server or apply it to multiple connections. You also have the option of executing all the statements in order or all at once, as a batch.

The tools included in the program enable you to extract objects, compare data and import data into a certain database. For instance, the Diff Viewer can analyze CSS, HTML, PHP, Python, SQL Visual Basic and XML files in order to display the differences.

You can also assess the performance of a certain server by generating graphs and reports for the processed operations in the database monitor. The Monitor is a useful tool when you need to stop the background processes such as an SQL statement execution or an object retrieval action.

The program is clearly designed for the experienced database managers and includes an extensive documentation that explains its capabilities. The interface is clear and the main features are clearly organized in the menus which can help the beginners get accustomed to its usage.

TOAD for SQL Server is a useful tool for any SQL Server manager who wants a friendly interface for creating statements and monitoring multiple servers.
