Red Gate Sql Toolbelt Essentials
Toad for SQL Sever basically is an alternative to SQL Server Management Studio - it gives you insights into your server, databases, database object etc. And you can execute queries and explore your data. But that's about it. Red-Gate's Toolbelt is a totally different set of tools - a toolbelt, as the name implies:. compare databases for structural or data-related differences. determine dependencies between database objects. greatly superior intellisense for SSMS and Visual Studio.
Red Gate Sql Tool
package database changes into an update package (EXE or.NET assembly). and a lot more I don't think TOAD offers any of those capabilities, so you're really comparing apples to carrot or something here. I can totally recommend Red Gate tools - I'm using SQL Prompt, SQL Search, SQL Compare, SQL Data Compare and SQL Packager regularly, and they just do their job in a great way. Highly recommended!
