Toad highlights text that is repeated, can you change it easily?
RE: Toad highlights text that is repeated, can you change it easily?
By default, if you highlight or place your cursor on a string and then hit Cntl-R (Replace), it automatically loads that string into the "Text to find:" text box of the dialog. Not as simple as the right mouse functionality you were looking for, but it will get you to the same place.
RE: Performance slow
Hi Thorsten,
Can you provide a bit more information about what you're experiencing? A few questions I have based on what you wrote, would be:
- Approximately how many database objects are you trying to control?
- Are you using the "All Schemas" approach when setting up your Team Projects or are you controlling individual schemas?
- Are you using the internal TFS client in Toad or the external TFS command-line client?
- Are you simply experiencing slowness or are you receiving error messages?
- Do you have VCS Debug logging turned on?
- Are the issues you're experiencing specific to Toad 13? Were you experiencing issues in Toad 12.12?
Feel free to let us know what you're trying to do and we'll see if we can figure out why it's being slow for you.
Thanks,
-John
Performance slow
We are woirking on Windows 7 and TOAD V13.0. The times when we use TFS Team Coding (TFS 2013) is not usable the whole day.
So also the switching times between connections inside TOAD which are all under team coding are very slow, too.
RE: Toad and Git for historical code changes
Hi Samhita,
Toad for Oracle 9.6 does not support Git as a version control provider. PushOK Software wrote an SCC interface for Git, which you might be able to use; but it would not be supported by Quest, and may not work fully. Git support in Toad was introduced with Toad 12.1; but for the latest features and support, I'd recommend getting the latest version of Toad, which is Toad 13.0.

RE: Toad highlights text that is repeated, can you change it easily?
Thank you for your quick reply :)!! That's a great idea for replacing; will definitely use it.
If you come across with a way of deleting all highlighted strings, I would be interested too :)!
RE: Toad highlights text that is repeated, can you change it easily?
If you leave the "Replace with:" text box empty, the replace will effectively delete the "Text to find:" string.
RE: 18c client and LDAP connection dropdown
If that works, then it seems like a good workaround to me.
We just started adding support for Oracle 18c in Toad 13.1 betas. I see in that source code that we're looking for OraLDAPClnt18.dll,

RE: 18c client and LDAP connection dropdown
Thank you!
18c client and LDAP connection dropdown
Even though the client is 18c, it appears Toad is looking for oraldapclnt12.dll in order to populate the connection dropdown list.
My work around was to simply copy the oraldapclnt18.dll to oraldapclnt12.dll and restart.
Is there a better way? I assume this will be fixed in a future release (if it's not already?)
Generating ERD diagrams from SQL Scripts
Afternoon All,
someone might find this useful. It's a mirror of one of my blog postings on Community.toadworld.com - https://community.toadworld.com/platforms/oracle/b/weblog/archive/2018/07/12/generate-entity-relationship-diagrams-from-a-sql-script - where you can see how to generate a diagram of the ERD around and about a single table, using a script and the graphviz utility. Handy for those occasions when you find yourself on site, with no ERD diagram and work to do!
The original posting is on my blog at http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/blog/2018/07/generate-entity-relationship-diagrams-from-a-sql-script/ (but only because sometimes, the miro on Toad World corrupts code listings!)
RE: Avoid ORA-03113: end-of-file on comm channel? Timeout?
I realize this is a very old post. I am also experiencing the same issue under 12.10.0.30 while either using VPN or working onsite.
At first connect I have the schema browser and editor window opened. This generates 2 sessions as see by the DBA.
When in it for about 8 mins I am disconnected with the end of communication error from oracle. The DBA is still seeing 2 active connections. My editor window is no longer connected. Meanwhile the schema browser is still connected and operational.
This is not a timeout issue, the timeout is set for 30 mins.
At this point I can open another editor window without reconnecting and work as if I have never been disconnected. At this point the DBA now sees 3 sessions. I am still unable to use the initial editor window while the other two are fine.
There is nothing on the DB side to indicate oracle disconnected the editor session. It seems to be a TOAD bug.
I have opened a SQLPlus window and was able to have it sit idle for 25 mins with no problem whatsoever.
RE: Avoid ORA-03113: end-of-file on comm channel? Timeout?
There are a million hits on Google for ORA-03113. Have your DBA start some of the troubleshooting tips to see if you can figure out what is causing it for you guys. AskTom has a good post on the subject. https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:369618129598
> At this point I can open another editor window without reconnecting and work as if I have never been disconnected
Toad would silently reconnect your session in many cases, but not in all. The intended behavior after a dropped session is to disallow automatic reconnect for security. This is improved in 13.1 so that a dropped session remains in a disconnected state until you explicitly re-establish it. If you have password saving enabled you can just click the Test Connections button and Toad will reconnect. Users that have disabled password saving will need to resupply passwords. Toad 13.1 is in beta now and is to be released in the Fall.

Avoid ORA-03113: end-of-file on comm channel? Timeout?
When clicking Toad menues after a while of inactivity (~ > 20 minutes) I am
getting frequently
error popups telling me:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Is this a timeout problem?
if yes: From Toad or Oracle DB?
Can I avoid this somehow?
Are there keep alive messages form Toad to Oracle available?
Ben

EDITOR RULE: Not applied consistently
In the below screen print, it shows that RULE 3801 is not being followed. If I uncomment the line 1196, then there is RULE violation. The issue is that a RAISE and a RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR should be treated as the same so that the RULE behavior is the same.
Load Database Object - Grid Display is empty
Whenever I open the "Load Database Object" and select "TRIGGER", the contents of the triggers is now shown. In the screen print below I have "grouped" by Type to show that there 28 triggers which should be displayed. The same issue occurs even if I am not grouping by Type. Resizing the screen resolves the display issue.
The issue seems to have started once I started using the Beta release. I'm currently using 13.1.0.25.
Thanks,
David
Export Dataset: Insert Statements - Automatic Schema and Name Logic
With Export Dataset window, when setting the Export Format to "Insert Statements", the screen always defaults to "Automatically detect schema and name". It would be nice if the tool could remember my preference to not automatically remember the schema name. One way to implement this would be to change the Check Box to a Radio Button, and add two selection options of: "Automatically detect name" or "No Automatic Detection". In this way, my preference of "Automatically detect name" could be defaulted eliminating a manual step.
Thanks,
David
Compare Schemas: Difference Details Tab - Detail View
One of the features of the older TOAD's comparison tool was that it allowed for the details of the comparison to be seen. This made it easier to see exactly differences were being addressed by each of the items. In the current Compare Schema, the functionality to see the details is there, but it requires a mouse click to pop-up the screen, and another to remove the screen. When each difference is being reviewed and there are hundreds of differences, this makes the review process take much longer than required.
What I would like to see changed is on the "Difference Details" tab, to make the it into a split screen, such that the existing Tree View would be displayed on the left hand side, and on the right hand side that two more panes be displayed with right top pane containing the detail view and the bottom pane showing the DDL Script. This would eliminate streamline the review process and drastically reduce the amount of effort required for large reviews.
On a separate topic, TOAD is currently not supporting an automated approach to re-order columns of a table if DBMS_REDIFINITION is not available. (our DBAs will not allow us to use the DBMS_REDIFINITION package because of security concerns). What I would like to see is an option that would create a script like this: Rename Table to some temp name, drop all triggers, FK, indexes etc from the table, create table using correct ordering of columns, add indexes, triggers, FK, etc. These are the steps that we are doing manually. Obviously, the DBMS_REDIFINITION package would be the preferred approach is it doesn't require downtime, but at least if this were a choice, then the manual work to recreate the table could be eliminated.
Thanks for listening and love the tool!
David
RE: Compare Schemas: Difference Details Tab - Detail View
Hi David,
I'm wondering about your need to run DBMS_REDEFINITION. Why would you need to reorder the columns of a table? I can understand that you might have problems getting the DBA to approve its use, but unless you have some varchar2 data types that star small and end up being updated to large, that need moving to the "end" of the row, I'm puzzled as to why you need to reorder.
Just wondering.
Cheers,
Norm [TeamT]
