Not with Toad for Oracle. We have 2 Toad’s that support SQL Server: - Toad for SQL Server – requires a separate license and purchase. Gives you admin/dev/tuning/query features - Toad for Data Analysts – included with Toad for Oracle starting with version 9.6. Available to any Toad user current on maint/support. A cross-platform query and reporting tool. Great for people who just work with SQL, pivots, etc. Jeff ---

There is also a Toad for Data Analysts freeware for those on older version of Toad and not current on maintenance J
