5.0 out of 5 stars First class Documentation, January 29, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: TOAD Handbook (Paperback)
For most TOAD users, a decent general purpose reference for understanding TOAD's plethora of features - especially the DBA module's more advanced screens, wizards and utilities.

2.0 out of 5 stars Already Out of Date, October 7, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is of the 2nd Edition, published September 2009. The version of TOAD it's written for (9.7) is a year old and the new version (10) comes out next week. I realize you have to have a product before documentation, but I thought with the book coming out now as the same time as the new version it would be written to include some TOAD 10 information. Release a book with the new version of the software, isn't that how it's usually done? The beta is public so we've known what is coming for a while but no such luck here.

Don't get me wrong, the book is still useful, but not near as much as it would be if written for the version of TOAD we'll all be using by the end of October.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for TOAD users who want to get more out of the tool, June 26, 2007
By 
Andrew L. Peyton (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: TOAD Handbook (Paperback)
I've been using TOAD for a few years, but like most users, tended to only use a few of the controls. I knew the product could do more, and could probably be more useful, but I never had the time to explore.

This book suits my purposes well. From just reading the first part of the book I was able to customise and de-clutter screens which was of immediate benefit. The book is well-suited to jumping in to relevant sections and skipping others of less interest. Whenever I have a few minutes to spare, I can usually browse through the book and find some feature that I wasn't aware of.
