    In this paper, the author investigates the structure of the derived category of a toric variety. If \(X\) is a projective toric variety with at most quotient singularities, and \(B\) is an invariant \(\mathbb Q\)-divisor with coefficients of the form \((r-1)/r\) with \(r\) a nonnegative integer, then one can consider the smooth Deligne-Mumford stack \(\mathcal X\) associated to the pair \((X,B)\), as in \textit{Y. Kawamata} [J. Math. Sci. Univ. Tokyo 12, 211--231 (2005; Zbl 1095.14014)]. The author shows that the derived category \(D^b({\mathcal X})\) has a complete exceptional collection consisting of sheaves. In order to prove the result, the author considers a projective space, which is known to have a complete exceptional collection. Using the toric minimal program, he then constructs a complete exceptional collection on any toric variety with at most quotient singularities. Indeed, by a covering trick he proceeds from projective spaces to log Fano varieties. It is now enough to work out Mori fiber spaces: the presence of multiple fibres shows that boundary cases have to be taken into account, and this introduces the branch divisor \(B\) into the picture. Even if a Mori fiber space can have singular fibers, the associated morphism of stacks is smooth. Then a careful study of ``stacky'' sheaves gives the required collection (which consists indeed of sheaves) on any toric variety with at most quotient singularities.
