To further that point, there’s a new community for all users of Toad for SQL Server. My point isn’t to fully describe the inner workings of the Toad dev team, rather I wanted to highlight how incredibly important community feedback is to this tool and the developers behind it. Back in the day, when I worked in Quest’s R&D team, the developers literally kept a checklist of cool suggestions from the community and worked against that to develop new features.

Toad Data Modeler 7.1 is a minor release, with enhanced features and functionality. Now that Toad is solidly cross-platform with versions for DB2, MySQL, and Cloud to boot, it’s worth pointing out that Toad got to be what it is today entirely from community feedback. Toad Data Modeler enables users to reverse engineer database structures, update models, design and generate SQL, compare models and generate alter scripts, create HTML or RTF reports, in addition to versioning of database designs and creation of to-do lists. It didn’t take long for Toad to rise above the acronym transform into the eponymous term denoting “kick-butt database tool” just a few years before Toad began to go cross-platform. Back when I used Oracle every day, TOAD was an acronym = Total Oracle Application Development. Try the full version free for 30 days Get Toad for SQL Server. One of the reasons that Toad is so good is that it’s always been a community-driven product. Increased productivity for SQL Server development and administration.
