User comments

We just wanted to make sure you know how much we here in the Red Hat IT group appreciate TOra. It's an official departmental application for our Oracle developers for two main reasons - **It's licensed under the GPL** and **It's functionality meets or exceeds the abilities of any proprietary application we've seen**. I've worked for Red Hat for three years and have been using Open Source tools for five, and in that time, TOra is definitely one of the most mature Open Source applications I've ever seen or used. Thank you for your important contributions to the Open Source community.
