A Quest Case Study
Simplicis, a small U.S. consulting firm serving biopharmaceutical and agriscience laboratories, maintains Oracle databases to support software design, development and release testing. With developers of varying Oracle experience, the team struggled with routine database tasks—schema comparison and promotion scripts, rebuilding and analyzing tables and indexes, PL/SQL development and debugging—and found alternative tools like SQL Developer not user-friendly.
To address this, Simplicis deployed Quest Toad for Oracle for both developers and DB managers. Toad’s all-in-one features (notably the PL/SQL debugger and the “make code” SQL-export tool), stability, and responsive Quest support substantially reduced repetitive work, saving hours that more than offset the cost; Simplicis reports strong ROI, easier maintenance, and ongoing value from the solution.
