What does Toad for Cloud Databases Eclipse plug-in do?
The community edition of Toad for Cloud Databases is a free Eclipse plug-in that enables users to use SQL to:
- Work with data in a cloud/NoSQL database.
- Join a cloud/NoSQL database to a relational database on the personal computer.
- Copy tables from one cloud/NoSQL database to another or between a cloud/NoSQL database and a
relational database on the personal computer.
How does Toad for Cloud Databases work?
There are two key components to Toad for Cloud Databases. The first is the Eclipse plugin. The
Eclipse plugin is used to access the cloud/NoSQL database and write and execute SQL statements.
The second component is the Data Hub. It translates SQL statements submitted through the
Eclipse plugin into a language understood by the cloud/NoSQL database, and returns results in the
familiar tabular row and column format. It can be installed on the local computer or another
computer with network access.
