Despite both products starting with "Toad" and performing similar duties for  
their respective databases, the two products are very different. AFAIK,  
there is no built-in ERD with Toad for SQL Server, unless you consider the  
Database Diagram interface to SQL Server. Even so, the built-in ERD with  
Toad for Oracle is pretty limited -- that's not really what Toad for Oracle  
and Toad for SQL Server are designed for.

Personally, I prefer Toad Data Modeler, which is a separate licensed product  
from Quest. Oracle Corp tried competing with it in the marketplace and even  
they gave up. 🙂

Good luck!
