SQL & PL/SQL

Hello Guys,

Please share your views based on your experience

Oracle 10g on Linux or Unix in DBA's perspective is it worth using TOAD?

Please let me know how much more resource toad session takes compare to sqlplus (command line session)
so will it put extra load on database

It has some helpful features but do have disadvantages as well?please list disadvantages as advantages mostly
mentioned on toad websites or documentations


I am concerned with some like resoure usage/utilization,security(can connect multiple db at a time so human error),
hanged toad sessions when run large query etc

Thanks in advance
Dev
