Toad For Oracle License Cost
I'd like an idea of how much Toad costs. How do I find out? Verified in-depth Toad for Oracle reviews and ratings of pros/cons, pricing, features. License Key is costly since we have to pay rather than open-ended tool. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I'm a developer and don't know much about pricing. The license is on our company, but I guess it's the most expensive database IDE. Oracle SQL Developer vs Toad. IDERA DBArtisan. IDERA DBArtisan vs Toad. Oracle Enterprise Manager. Oracle Enterprise Manager vs Toad. IDERA ER/Studio.

Oracle XE, or Express Edition. It's free and may meet your needs. Easy install too!
EDIT: Download link [Oracle.com]
There is a Personal Oracle which you can find at shop.oracle.comIt is about $450 for a perpetual licence or about $100 for a single year's licence. It is only available on Windows however.
If the statement from you other question that your application will be accepting connections over the internet is correct, I strongly suspect that you need more than a single-user system.

When Oracle talks about a 'named user', they mean an identifiable human being that has access to the database via some application. It has no relationship to how many users are created in the database (i.e. the number of entries in DBA_USERS). If your application is available on the internet, it is accessible to hundreds of millions of named users so you would almost certainly need a processor license.
I suppose it's possible that you're deploying an application on the internet that only a single user has the login credentials to access, but that seems exceptionally unlikely.

Not really a direct answer to your question, but depending on the project you might consider using an ORM or other database abstraction layer with multiple database backends. Then you can use whatever RDBMS you are comfortable with during development, keep any queries not done through the ORM as simple and generic as possible, and hopefully migrate everything over to oracle without too many issues before going into production.. then just let the database guys do any oracle-specific tweaking that needs to be done. I assume there are database guys available to the project since oracle is being used.
