Hi PDanielson
My main requirement was Data Migration and TDP is very well suited to that with its ability to connect to a multitude of data sources and the in built MYSQL DB Is a big bonus. I have used TOAD heavily in the past. In those days it was a single product which was targeted exclusively at developers but was under threat from Oracle Raptor (which went on to become SQL Developer).
So when we sat down with the Quest salesman and presented our data migration and analysis requirements he suggested TDP. I naively assumed that regular TOAD's bread and butter features would be included since that is what TDP is based on. After all TOAD stands for Tool for Oracle Developers and TDP is a premium offering. Your Quest salesperson should have spotted that you are a development shop and advised accordingly.
I have always been a big fan of TOAD and always spent time at their stand at the annual Oracle User Group Conferences. I was just staggered that something as simple as the line number of the error was not reported. Whoever made that decision should be fired. The debugger should be configurable and switched off if required.
I have now got my company to install SQL Developer on my laptop alongside TDP. I now have TDP on one screen and SQL Developer on the other. SQL developer is free so you shouldn't need a licence. I certainly didn't need one. Alternatively you could try and get TDP exchanged for regular TOAD.
All the best
