Somewhere there's an option to use it read-only,
or use separate threads (will still lock - just
to indicate there's more than one option to look at)
Take a look at PL/SQL Developer of AllroundAutomations.
Better tool for developers (less obvious DBA stuff :) ),
better sup****t for new Oracle versions, sup****ts unicode
(ever seen russian job descriptions in the famous EMP table,
or chinese column names?!?).
And... it's a hell of a lot cheaper than TOAD! Current
prices: US$6k for an *unlimited* licence - TOAD will give
you about a single user license with no plugins for that!
