I have also used many SQL tools both freeware and commercial. Some tools have the hover display of columns when typing the period after the table name which is really a nice option. However this tool has the object viewer which allows you to drag and drop the column names into your sql. Great tool considering it is a freebie.... Thanks to the developer's for allowing this to be a free tool..

This application does not recognize the tns_admin environment variable! Useless for a workgroup environment.

I used Query Commander (which is excellent) when I was working with SQL Server, but couldn't get it to work well with Oracle. I then found SQLTools and it works perfectly. It's got all the features I was looking for and is extremely easy to use. It has some very nice and well thought out options and can be configured just as you need. A truly great freeware app.

...and it's for free! Many features, and it's easy to use. I can only confirm the preceding review, and what I can add is that it can be used even without installation (from a USB disk).

I've use different SQL Clients, many of them with a lot of features and very friendly and intuitive. One of those is SQLTools. The interface is very clean, intuituve and easy to understand. Some tools have better options and more funcionality than this, but none of them is for free. Many people like the basic SQL Client for Oracle, but if you want a better approach, light weigth Client, SQL Tools is for you. I hope that this software will go on free of charge basis, but even with a small price It will be a great option for a SQL Client.
