Thanks for writing the article for us. It allowed me to set up this plug-in within no time. That's great.
I compared the performance of SQLExplorer plug-in within Eclipse with "Free TOAD" client (for simple SELECT sql queries).
My SQLExplorer plug-in uses Oracle OCI driver, and so does the "Free TOAD".
But, consistently, Eclipse needed 1079 msecs (or so) whereas Free TOAD needed only 1/10th of that time (say, 100 msec).
Wouldn't I prefer "Free TOAD" to this SQLExplorer plug-in? Plus, "Free TOAD" looks nicer with more features available.
