Thank you, downloaded the FREEWARE and Beta for testing

Cool!

To clarify, I downloaded TOAD Freeware and Beta

Beta has long expired already, so don't bother downloading it

Freeware seems alright, I was pretty hooked on it, until it hang on me couple times

- once during restore a backup - it did restore 100% but screen froze

- once during something else I can't remember now

back to SSMS now

Responding to Jerry Hung's comments,

first, thanks Jerry for downloading and evaluating Toad for SS.

We are working on our major version 4.0 release,

and are getting close to posting a new beta program for it,

but it's not out there yet, hence the expiration of the (old) beta.

I'll work with our dev team to get the old link off our site.

Kevin included the link for the freeware version, but the commercial version of the product has many more productivity functions to save time and grief throughout your day.  You can check it out on a trial basis at

http://www.quest.com/toad-for-sql-server/Software_downloads.aspx.

Lastly, I'm always open to speaking to our customers, and wouldn't mind reaching out to you to understand your needs and requirements surrounding your work with SQL Server.  That invite goes for anyone within the reading scope of this post.

Contact me at your convenience at 949-754-8412 or e-mail me at Gary.Jerep@quest.com.

Cheers.
