SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS AND VERSIONS
There is no support for any non-Microsoft environment. Instead, a Open Source variant of TOAD that is Platform Independent had been developed, dubbed TOra . HISTORY TOAD was originally designed by a practicing Oracle developer, Jim McDaniel ''TOADman'', in order to make his own life easier. He called it "Tool for Oracle Application Developers", TOAD for short. The tool was so useful that he made it available first as Shareware and later as Freeware , and distributed it freely over the Internet . As the user base grew, so did the effort of maintenance and development. Finally, the author realized that he could no longer dedicate substantial amount of time to the growing quantity of software enhancement requests. On November 9 1998 Quest Software , a developer and distributor of a competitive TOAD's rival, SQL Navigator, suddenly announced the addition of TOAD to its family of database development and management solutions for Oracle. Jim McDaniel, TOAD's creator, explained the move as: "I approached Quest Software because it is a great company with a commitment to quality products. They also have an outstanding reputation for customer support and a very loyal user following not unlike that of TOAD."
