I've got an oracle database that I want to audit. I have only one user of interest since he has access via TOAD on a particular computer. He logs in using a generic database account that's also used for other things so it's not quite as simple as setting that up but he always uses one particular computer and an older version of TOAD than I have.
Any thoughts on how I could log what he's doing? Thanks
Hi,
thank you very much for answering my question. Due to some reasons, I have paused working on that issue. Once I check the solution, I will get back to you on it.

After this request and another like it came in, I added the ability to specify a file to get the SQL from. It is in the current beta, which you can get here: https://community.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/toad_for_oracle_beta_program/
Hi,
I am new to Toad and have a question related to 'Automation Designer' picking up a file dynamically. Below is the problem description.
I have a SELECT query which is placed in a file, "Account.sql". The requirement is to 'Schedule' an 'Export Dataset' of this SQL query to a CSV file. By using 'Automation Designer', I created a new 'App' to perform this task successfully. Below are the steps.
a. Create a new App.
b. Under the 'Import/Export' tab, choose the action, 'Export Dataset'.
c. Right-click the action 'Export Dataset' choose Properties and manually copy the SQL query in 'Dataset' tab.
d. Schedule/Run the App and it works fine.
However, the challenge here I have is, copying the SQL query manually(Step-c above) whenever it changes(it changes often). So, is there a way of making Toad to dynamically pick the 'Account.sql' file from a specified location whenever it is scheduled to run?
Thanks,
Satish
Yes, that was it. Thank you!!!
I used to be able to sort by clicking on column Header, Ascending or Descending, with a single click.
Has something changed?
Right-click sort does not provide Ascending and Descending options.
Please advise.
The first step is complete for next beta (13.1.0.21) which should be available Monday. For normal (F9) execution statement detection should be much faster. I have a sample text of 20k select statements and after text modification pre-execute processing takes ~1 second. It's all done in the background so if you made an edit and left it alone for a second it would be instant. Similarly a 20K CREATE PROCEDURE sample takes ~3 seconds to process. The time taken to process is affected by how many statements are upstream from the one you are executing. If you are very near the beginning the processing time is almost nothing regardless of how many statements exist.
Execute Snippet (Ctrl+Enter/Shift+F9) and execute selection still require additional work that I hope to complete in the upcoming days.

Hi mutiu,
That is intentional, and was done to help prevent potential object resolution conflicts. You can only assign a schema to a single Team Project. If you're trying to structure your VCS folders in a specific format, there are other ways to accomplish that task. What are you trying to accomplish by splitting a schema across multiple team projects?

I'm running 13.0.0.80 and trying to set up Team Coding. For the first Team Project I create, every schema in the DB is available for me to pick. I select one. When I create a second project, the schema I selected for the first project is missing from the list, so I can't use the same schema in more than one project. Is that intentional, a mistake, or am I missing a setting?
Hi John,
I installed the new beta version and tried the solution your suggested, It works perfectly fine for the requirement I had mentioned earlier.
Thanks a lot for your sense of urgency and implementing this feature though only two people have asked for it. I appreciate your quick response.

Using the Oracle client/SQL*Net, Toad for Oracle should be able to connect to any supported Oracle database, whether Oracle is installed on Windows, Unix, Linux, Mac, etc.
So, assuming that you're asking whether there is a version of Toad/Oracle that installs natively on OSX.
Quest does not have a version of Toad for Oracle that runs natively on Mac OSs.
Most customers that are running Toad/Oracle on their Macs are doing so either by running a virtual environment, as you are doing, or by running Toad within a Windows Emulating layer.
See link below for an article that discusses using CrossOver, for example, but there are other Win Emulation products you can consider.
Hope this helps.
Hi Toad Developers,
Our Toad sales rep just advise me to put my question here:
Is there a toad version that support Oracle for OSX?
I currently have to run a Windows VM in order to use Toad for any pl/sql dev work, and any DB management.
Hi, thanks for the quick answer.
My problem is that in the same schema I have objects from different projects and I would like to have a Team Project per project to synchronize it with GIT.
Hello,
I use Toad for Oracle 12.6.0.53 on Windows 7.
I have a bug - there is a grey area at the bottom of Toad's window that is not used at all even when trying -
1) Retore default desktop
2) Restore defaults at the top.
3) Maximize windows inside/outside Toad. (this unused area remained..)
4) trying to change screent resolutions.
Does anyone expirienced the same problem or has a solution for it..?
Yes, those are definitely different kinds of constraints. I refer to the latter as a "fake not null" Toad 12.12 and prior could create scripts for those accurately. But I always thought 12.12 ran more queries than it really needed to, so I made some changes.
On Toad 13.0, it comes out right on SB-Tables-Script but I see what you mean on SB-Constraints-Script tab.
I'll am logging the bug and will have it fixed soon. Thanks for letting me know.
After upgrading to TOAD 13 I noticed the generated scripts were different for 'not null' named constraints.
TOAD 12.12
ALTER TABLE LBS_ACTION_JN MODIFY
JN_OPERATION CONSTRAINT LBS_ACTIONJN_OPER_NCHK NOT NULL
ENABLE VALIDATE;
TOAD 13.0
ALTER TABLE LBS_ACTION_JN ADD (
CONSTRAINT LBS_ACTIONJN_OPER_NCHK
CHECK ("JN_OPERATION" IS NOT NULL)
ENABLE VALIDATE);
The second script adds a constraint but does not make the column 'not null' in the table description.
Found this post which explains the difference:
https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/asktom.search?tag=named-not-null-constraint
I am not sure how this happens, but I believe the following will fix it.
WIth Toad not running, edit Toad.ini (using notepad or similar),
find lines that contain "Frame_coords" and remove them.
For example:
TOutputFrame_coords=69534067
TCodeSnippetsFrame_coords=17367842
TObjPaletteFrame_coords=11862732
There are 9 lines like this in the current version - you probably don't have as many in 12.6 but I am not sure the exact number.
Your Toad.ini file is most likely located in something like:
C:\Users\<windows logon user>\AppData\Roaming\Dell\Toad for Oracle\12.6\
Hi,
unforunately , it didn't solve the problem..
I found the toad.ini file in -
C:\Users\usf35669\AppData\Roaming\Dell\Toad for Oracle\12.6\User Files (there is no toad.ini @ C:\Users\usf35669\AppData\Roaming\Dell\Toad for Oracle\12.6\ as you mentioned )
Closed toad and removed the lines -
TProjectManagerFrame_coords=28115637
TSESQLRecallFrame_coords=43909501
TOutputFrame_coords=125567092
TCodeSnippetsFrame_coords=11862709
TObjPaletteFrame_coords=11862853
after re-opening toad , I am still expiriencing the same problem
and the following line -
TOutputFrame_coords=34603142
was added to the toad.ini file.
One thing I forgot to mention - this grey area is above the line of autocommit (disabled)/CAPS/NUM/INS/toad update icon.
Maybe there is another thing that I can try to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Sagi.
Another thing that may solve it is right-click on it, and if you get a popup menu, then it is a toolbar that somehow got dragged down there. In that case, you can choose "restore defaults" and then all of the toolbars in Toad will restore to their 'freshly installed' state. Or you might be able to just uncheck the unwanted toolbar in the popup menu.
If that's not it, please send a screen shot.
you can send to john.dorlon@quest.com if it doesn't post in the forum.
And If you email the screen shot to me, please also include your Toad.ini.
I have just encountered this issue for the first time using Toad 13.0.0.80. Have used many versions of Toad before and I've been using this particular version for a few months and this is the first time it has happened.
I had many connections to different databases with numerous editors/schema browsers, however, in one particular editor window, I couldn't close ANY of the tabs. The connection to the database existed and everything worked perfectly when running code in the tabs, I just could not close them. This makes it difficult to shut down Toad in a clean fashion!
I tend to hibernate my laptop every night, then on starting up I "Test all Connections". This has been faultless for as long as I have used Toad, so I don't believe this is the cause of the problem.
Every now and again I cleanly shut down my applications and reboot the laptop. This is one of those occasions and is what made me realise Toad had screwed up. The only way to stop Toad was from the Task Manager.
