Craig,

If you are talking about MSQRY32.EXE then there is no comparison.  If you
are looking for a point and click tool for oracle databases to do almost any
task (create/alter tables, tablespaces, procedures, views, synonyms,
indexes, grants, partitions, constraints ...)  TOAD does a really good job.

You can go to their web site and download a trial for free. www.quest.com

Tim,

I am not familiar with Toad, I use MS query (tools inside OPOFFICE), it does
the same thing.  Have you ever compared them?
