Hello All,  
If i connect toad with oracle by using username/password,  
will it connect to all the schemas by default or to the particular schema only?

by using schema instead of username/pass it connects to a schema only,  
please provide some basic toad learning link as well.

Thanks

Depending on what privileges the scott user has been granted, by other  
schemas and/or by the sys/system schemas, then you may well be able to  
see data and code belonging to those other users.
