autotrace

I like to use autotrace in SQL*Plus, is there a facility within Toad to do the same thing (Not the whole SQL_Tuner thing)

I just did a webcaast on this very topic yesterday. You should be able to see the recorded version off the Dell Software website. Short answer - yes - use the trace tab and check the box. Other methods are available - but best to see the slides from webcast - too much for posting here
