The course begins with an overview of Toad’s interface, key features, and customization options, allowing students to tailor the tool to their workflow. From there, it progresses into SQL development, demonstrating how to use Toad’s advanced editor to write, test, and refine SQL code quickly and accurately.
Students will gain hands-on experience managing schemas and database objects, including creating tables, querying views, and exporting data—establishing a solid foundation in real-world database tasks. The course then explores advanced SQL and PL/SQL techniques, focusing on improving code quality, readability, and execution.
A key component of the course is performance tuning, where learners use Toad’s diagnostic and analysis tools to identify bottlenecks and optimize SQL queries for better database performance. Best practices for data loading and exporting are also covered, emphasizing techniques for maintaining data accuracy and integrity.
Participants will be introduced to Toad’s automation tools, which help streamline repetitive tasks and boost productivity, as well as its documentation and collaboration features, including database comparisons and report generation for team communication.
To complete the learning experience, the course introduces Toad’s visual design tools, teaching students how to create entity relationship diagrams and visually construct complex queries—key skills for effective database design and analysis.
