I haven't been able to pin the Object Palette on the LHS where it shows with the editor on the RHS.
In SQL Navigator when I connect to a database, the screen opens up with the Object Palette on the LHS and Editor on the RHS.
My Toad for Oracle is 12.6.0.53. Any help would be appreciated. Tks.
I'm able to dock it on the top, but I need it on the LHS for the same reason as the original poster. Tks.
You should be able to just drag it from the docked position on the right to the docked position on the left. It makes a gray "dock" rectangle as the mouse approaches the left wall of Toad's main window. It may be easier to when Toad is not maximized.

I am quite new to Toad and oracle . Need help to set Toad's view correctly ...
I have schema browser(tree View) in one tab and Editor in another tab. How do i keep schema browser on LHS and Editor on RHS on same tab (Something like in Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio) , So that i can have the view of the schemas/objects/columns/types etc on one side while i write the code on the editor on the other side rather then switching tabs every time to check the column or type....
Toad Version - 12.1.0.22
OS- Windows 8
Would be great if somebody can help me out ...
Do you have any idea when this feature will be included? I've tried to find any reference to QP-2830 and came up empty.

Thanks John. I'll pass this on to the team, I know they'll be interested.
I'm trying to set up TOAD to use GIT hosted by Team Foundation Server as the VCS. In Team Coding Configuration, which do I pick from the VCS dropdown box, Team Foundation Server or GIT?
Thanks
Douglas Mosman
Is there a user setting that can expand Version Control and Team Coding to include materialized views?
Mark,
QP numbers are internal references - just references.
It's scheduled to be available within 2-3 months the latest. I'll post a word here when included.
Thanks,
Andre
It's quite common for us to see formatted code end without a newline char on the last line. Is it possible to modify the formatter config file to ensure that the formatter produces files that always end with a newline char?
alter table xxxx add (col_yyy number);
does your query behave the same when you run it inside SQL*Plus?
In Toad 12.12 and earlier, all clone, pull and push operations need to be managed outside of Toad for Oracle. Toad for Oracle 13.0 will support clone, pull and push operations from inside Toad for Git and Mercurial. Support has been added for the next beta.
As far as VSTS is concerned, there are a few things to consider:
For VSTS-hosted Git repositories:
I hope this helps answer your question. Please feel free to let me know if you have any others.
Thanks,

For Toad 12.12 and earlier, you can also work around the clone/pull/push issue by setting up External commands within Toad to transfer changes between your local Git repository and the server's Git repository. Matthew Phan wrote a blog article here that may help you in creating that:

As mentioned in another post, I am setting up Git in Toad.
This brings me to the question: What are best practices for working with Git in Toad?
We have several developers working on the same database. I know that I could set up Code Collections for different database objects. But which repositories should each developer commit to?
It seems that it is only possible to choose a local git repository, so I guess that each developer should just commit to his/her local repository. But how do I ensure that all developers' repositories are in sync? Would it be possible to make Toad pull/push from/to a central directory before/after each commit?
Or are there other best practices we should follow?
You can pass Toad env. variables into Execute Script actions starting with Toad 12.11. There are some examples here: https://community.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/b/weblog/archive/2016/10/18/running-scripts-with-parameters-in-toad-39-s-automation-designer
1) It can only be a select statement in the Export Dataset action. Yes, single query only. If you want to export multiple sql statements, then create multiple actions (or you can export multiple tables/views by specifying objects to export instead of a query)
2) not sure maybe someone else will answer this one.
3) it just means that the action doesn't have enough details configured for Toad to give you a meaningful hint about what it does.
4) not sure maybe someone else will answer this one.
5) There is no way to change the default semicolon statement separators in the export DDL/dataset action. However, Toad 12.12 will produce insert statements like below, so that blank lines inside of data do not cause a problem.
(EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE,
SAL, COMM, DEPTNO)
Values
(7499, ''||CHR(13)||CHR(10)||'/'||CHR(13)||CHR(10)||'', 'SALESMAN', 7698, TO_DATE('2/12/2018', 'MM/DD/YYYY'),
150, 300, 30);
Toad v12.10
When I run something simple like Select '&x' from dual; in the Execute Script action in automation designer, I do get the popup to set the value of the variable when it is run.
But assigning any environment variable to that substitution variable just causes that env variable name to appear in the output instead of its value ??
old: Select '&x' from dual
new: Select 'ACTIVESESSIONUSER' from dual
'ACTIVESESSIONUSER'
-------------------
ACTIVESESSIONUSER
1 row selected.
How can we get this to work?
Some other unrelated bugs/issues I ran into while struggling with this for several days:
1. Doing the same thing in Export Dataset action with export query option, produces a modal dialog with this error and permanently hangs Toad, requiring taskkill.
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
I would like a pointer to any documentation on this action and on what kind of sql that can go in that box. Can we use pl/sql ? Can it only be a single query ?
2. Toad spool files are set to output UTF-8 with BOM by default, which is incompatible with sqlplus (if you want to execute spooled, generated sql code).
This default is different from the ANSI default encoding for saving all other Toad files, i.e,
Options --> General --> Default Encoding
What is the reason for this inconsistency in encoding defaults?
How do we change the spool file encoding locally within an Automation Designer app to ANSI, without requiring a Toad-wide default change for all users?
3. What is the meaning of the [<no hint present>] visible in front of many of the automation actions ? Are things like this explained in an Automation Designer User Manual that you can point me to ?
4. In the FTP or Rexec actions, how do I parametrize the Hostname, Username and password like all the other fields? For example with $uid or %ACTIVESESSIONUSER% or %USERNAME% etc.
5. Export DDL action (export dataset) does not produce a sqlplus compatible Insert/Merge script when table data contains '/' forward slashes or semicolons on lines by themselves, or if it has any blank lines. To workaround this we need to set sqlterminator off and setblanklines on.
How can we change the default semicolon statement separators that are in the generated insert scripts from this action?
Hi dwmosman,
Team Coding support for Materialized Views has been added for Toad for Oracle 13.0 starting in Thursday's beta. Feel free to give it a try and let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Hi,
When you export data from Trace analyzer to Excel, you have SEQ column which holds data of order of execution.
Unfortunately, this column starts from 1 for any indentation.
This makes problems when you sort data by any other column, to return order in normal way.
So I always invent new column "order" which is simple counter of rows, so this gives me an option to return to oreder of statemens as they were executed (original SEQ order).
Could you please add such a column in Excel export, so it will help us returning data to original order easily.
