Webcast: Banish Bad Code with Toad® for Oracle Pro and Xpert Editions

Poor query design and coding practices are the top Oracle database performance killers. Even with good database architecture design and no other SQL performance inhibitors, poor PLSQL code and SQL queries can severely degrade performance.

There are two ways to minimize this problem: optimize bad code, or write good code in the first place. Of course, many organizations have adopted standard coding practices to ensure consistency throughout their application code base, but they don’t always apply to the particular requirements of database code and queries.

Luckily, Toad® for Oracle exists and provides a framework for setting and enforcing coding standards as well as for optimizing queries.

In this on-demand session of Ask Toad, Mathew Phan, Software Sales Engineer, will showcase the Professional and Xpert editions of Toad for Oracle and how features like static code reviews, sensitive data awareness and SQL optimization address the issues and data governance risks that arise from bad coding practices.

In Toad Professional, you’ll learn about:

• Code Analysis
• Generate Test Data
• Sensitive Data Awareness

In Toad Xpert, Mathew will cover:

• SQL Optimization
• Auto Optimizer
• Advanced Optimizer
