One of the features I love about tode is the capability of exporting data and masking it before generating the output. It's pretty fast when navigating through the database objects.
The only real complaint that I have with Toad is that once and awhile, it "loses" its place in memory and then tabs from that database connection cannot be closed.
I am super satisfied with product as we can do all things at ease.
It makes your system slow when you use the software as it has plenty of features. Even sometimes it crash it freeze whole windows.
Super happy with this tools, super powerful and user friendly.
I think it should be simpler in its GUI, the graphic interphase is convoluted. I installed it many times and there's a mouse cursor lag issue that still persists.
The tool is very useful and writing queries using toad has been much easier. Toad offers wide range of features like data import, export, monitor, optimize and debugging which are quite helpful.
I work as developer for one of the oracle project and running oracle from command prompt is a pain. Specially writing big SQL procedures and functions of 1000 plus lines.
Lightweight relational database, works on many platforms and has gain support from popularity in community. The toolkit for developing is great and easy to understand the concept.
The installation is quite confusing, and also I had struggles with the documentation I didn't really understand them, so I had to use video tutorials to get familiar.
SQLite was an excellent choice for us when we wanted to store a database for a basic utility that we were developing. The performance appeared to be excellent, and it was really steady.
It's locking architecture enables only a single process to write at a time so building a more complex application may cause hard-to-solve problems.
It has great integrated features that are compatible with multiple languages. Ease of access and connection to the SQLite database are a big plus when working with data.
Sometimes loading files takes too long, making the working of the data bases difficult. It also can get laggy if using other applications.
SQLite is also great because it does not require an installation, either on the developers side nor the players side, it is a simple DLL which can be embedded into the application with ease.
Native security is quite weak without supporting encrypt particular table or column.
Ramindu D.: Hi, I'm Ramindu, a Software Technical Lead in the computer science industry. And I give SQLite a four out of five. We switched to SQLite from a bunch of other software that we tried out, like H2 and the plain flat files and SQLite proved to be the best solution out of all these different products that we tried out. We chose SQLite because it's easy to use and it's very easy to bundle a whole database next to the applications as we deploy them. And it is the best solution to use with small applications that don't need a massive database alongside it. Onboarding and integrating SQLite into our applications was pretty easy because it follows a standard sequel syntax and moving from standard sequel databases is quite easy and it provides a large number of connectors for all the different programming languages and frameworks that we use. So, it proved to be less time-consuming and efficient to integrate and onboard this into our applications. For anyone who's trying to use SQLite, I would recommend, first of all, looking at whether you have the correct connectors for the programming languages that you're using. Of course, it covers a lot. So there, it should be good there, and make sure that your database is a small size database. So, something like a configuration store, something that won't be too heavy because you're going to be packaging your database alongside your application, and SQLite is mainly designed for applications that need small datasets. So, mainly for things like configuration, saving settings, things like that, SQLite is the best option. So, you should really consider whether your application fits that requirement of using SQLite.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
