I recently lost my internet history. I previously had a really detailed tutorial for toad SQL Optimizer for Oracle. I can’t seem to find the really detailed one.

I found this one but the video will not load. Is the video loading for anyone else?

The forum recommended this one. This is a good one for a quick tutorial. Would like the really detailed one though.

Can anyone find that detailed tutorial?

The video on your first link loads for me. Here's a [direct link to the video](https://players.brightcove.net/5857818218001/8BefjftTA_default/index.html?videoId=5987966496001), if that helps.

Your video loads for me as well, but that is for Auto-Optimize SQL feature of Toad which uses a lightweight version of SQL Optimizer.

Was it a text tutorial? If so, check out the SQL Optimizer for Oracle User Guide. Starting on page 12 are tutorials. [https://support-public.cfm.quest.com/74002\_QuestSQLOptimizerForOracle-UserGuide.pdf](https://support-public.cfm.quest.com/74002_QuestSQLOptimizerForOracle-UserGuide.pdf)

It was a text tutorial on a website. Wish I still had my internet history. Thank you for the pdf.
