Skills 101: Toad | Cracking the Code: Diagnose Database Issues Fast

Tuesday 24 March ⋅ 15:00 – 16:00 (UTC)

We are breaking down how real teams use Toad for Oracle’s diagnostic, debugging, and optimization tools to pinpoint root causes quickly, whether the issue is hidden in a SQL plan, a piece of PL/SQL code, or a sudden spike in locking activity. Think of it as your guided tour through the “what just happened and how do I fix it?” toolkit.

We will explore:
• Decode SQL Execution Plans to see exactly how Oracle processes your statements and where inefficiencies hide.
• Use SQL Optimizer to uncover slow-running queries and automatically surface higher-performing alternatives.
• Leverage SQL Tracker and Session Browser to spot bottlenecks, blocking sessions, and the root of locking issues.
• Step through logic with the PL/SQL Debugger to quickly find code defects, unexpected logic paths, or broken processes.
• Run Code Analysis to catch maintainability risks and rule violations before they escalate into production issues.
• Turn to Spotlight and Foglight when you need real-time visibility to diagnose spikes, stalls, and system anomalies fast.

By the end of this session, you will have a practical, real-world process for isolating what is wrong and the right Toad tools to confirm it quickly so you can spend less time hunting for root causes and more time delivering fixes that last.

Skills 101: Toad | Preventing Costly Mistakes Before They Happen

Wednesday 20 May ⋅ 13:00 – 14:00 (UTC)

Fixing defects after they reach production is significantly more costly than addressing them earlier in the development cycle. In this Skills 101 session, Mathew Phan walks through key capabilities in Toad for Oracle that help developers identify, diagnose, and resolve issues early, using built-in tools to improve code quality, enhance performance, and reduce risk across Oracle environments.
Topics include:

Using the Debugger to step through PL/SQL and identify logic issues
Applying Code Review to enforce coding standards and improve accuracy
Leveraging AI Explain to understand unfamiliar or complex code
Tuning SQL with SQL Optimizer for improved performance

You’ll leave with practical techniques you can apply to reduce production issues and streamline your development workflow.
