DB Plugins - which one?
Does anyone have a suggestion for which DB plugin to use? There seems to be 3 that would be useful to me (DBHelper, Database Navigator, SQL Query Plugin). What's the difference? I've been writing more SQL and PL/SQL lately and could use a good tool besides TOAD. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I think nothing beats TOAD :)
Idea is better in CVS integration of course, so I was using Idea only as an advanced editor with CVS capabilities, thus I only needed something to highlight PL/SQL syntax.
I was using SQL Script Editor for it, but it was horribly slow on larger files (it took seconds to type a single character in 2500 lines file)
Now I switched to DBHelper and it is as snappy as the rest of IDEA, even on those larger files. It has plenty of other features that I am not using at all, maybe give it a try.
Thanks for your thoughts. I was interested in DB Navigator since it
supposedly has code completion, navigation, etc... but the first sql file I
opened was full of "good code marked bad". I have tried DBHelper and it's
code highlighting is good so I'll probably just stick with that and TOAD for
anything more than a small edit.
