Toad® Development Suite


Demo SQL Profiles


• QCTO is a tool that automates the process of building & running tests for Oracle PL/SQL program units

• Rather than write test code & manually verify results, you describe the expected behaviours of a program

• QCTO stores those behaviours as test cases in a repository

• It generates the test code as a PL/SQL package• It runs your tests & automatically verifies results

Code Tester for Oracle


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION betwnstr ( string_in IN VARCHAR2 , start_in IN PLS_INTEGER , end_in IN PLS_INTEGER , inclusive_in IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE) RETURN VARCHAR2 DETERMINISTICISBEGIN RETURN (SUBSTR (string_in, start_in, end_in - start_in +1)); END;

Code Tester for Oracle – SUBSTR


Look deeper at what we have

string_in start_in end_in

abcdefg 2 4abcdefg 2 100abcdefg 0 4NULL 2 4abcdefg -1 -4abcdefg 3 NULL

Are you thinking. What are the expected outcomes ?

Code Tester for Oracle – SUBSTR


Code Tester for Oracle

• Things to notice

– I specify what my program should do– I do not write any test code–Code Tester tells me where/if my code fails to work as expected

– I can re-run the tests whenever needed

Foglight Database Monitoring for Oracle


Challenges that Customers Face with Database Performance Monitoring• Database Administrators and Managers are challenged with

establishing consistent visibility across heterogeneous database environments, as well as delivering deep insight into transaction analysis.

• The Major pain points include:– Lack of visibility into the health of the database environment– Inability to diagnose and analyze real time and historical performance issues – Being Proactive - fixing problems before they affect users– Clear and consistent reporting (automated)– Proving that the source of problems is not tied to the database (if a problem

isn’t in the database)– Productivity of the staff (cross training DBAs across multiple platforms)– Each database platform is monitored by a separate tool– Native tools are real time only and cumbersome– Ensuring consistent service levels


• Database Performance Monitoring solutions enable database administrators to gain control of their database environments through:

– Complete visibility into the health of the environment– Diagnostic capabilities into performance problems– Delivering a proactive approach to fixing problems before they affect

the users
