TOAD 12.10.0.30
Sometimes I mouse over and hit something in the Data Grid that causes the row height to grow. Used to be in an older version of TOAD, there was a right-click on the left side of the grid for adjusting the row height so that I can put it back to normal. I surely cannot find that now. Does anyone know?
I still get the error if I try to export to a .mdb file, but .accdb works.
Ta-daaa!
Silly me. I just assumed that TOAD would export to .mdb since that's the file format it offers. I changed it to .accdb, like you suggested, and it exported like a champ! I've never felt so foolish and so relieved at the same time.
Thank you so much for your help, John.
Don't feel bad - it SHOULD export to mdb also! That seems like a bug and although it's way too late to do anything about it for 11.6, I'll make sure it's right in the current version.
Hi John,
I also have a frequent (once per week) need to export data from Oracle to two different Access databases, in order to provide the data to other people. I'm using TOAD version 12.10.0.30 (64-bit). I'm also using Office 2013 Professional, 32-bit (Microsoft recommends 32-bit Office for most users). If I read this thread correct, it sounds like one should be able to export to 32-bit Access using 64-bit TOAD? I have not been able to do so, including after copying the DAO file you indicated above. It would really be nice, especially since TOAD can export to 32-bit Excel.
I did not want to "downgrade" my installation of TOAD to 32-bit just to satisfy this weekly requirement, so I created a virtual machine with the same version of TOAD, but with Office 2013, 64-bit. That allows me to export to Access just fine, but I simply have not found a way to export from 64-bit TOAD to 32-bit Access.
If your team is going to look into this for version next, please improve a few issues that are a bit of a pain.
1.) I have two "template" Access database files, which have empty tables with the correct table names, column names and data types. I had to do this because in some cases TOAD was converting numbers to text data type. These templates also include some saved queries for the user. The names are "Drawing_PMP_Report.accdb" and "IRCS_Records.accdb":
If I use the Export Dataset feature, and I need to export to the other database (Drawing_PMP_Report.accdb, in this example), I cannot use the Build Button (blue arrow) to select the database:
If I do, I get a prompt that demands that I replace the database!
No, I do not want to replace it, because it is a saved template. I simply want to select it as the target for an export.
Instead, I have to manually edit the name of the database, by typing it in, as indicated below:
Notice also, in the above image, that the table name is detected (correctly) and I have the option selected to Append rows (if columns match). However, I always get the following confirmation prompt. I have to be careful to click on Append Tables, instead of accidentally hitting Overwrite Tables. Why is the above option not honored?
Thank You.
Hi Tom,
I didn't mean to imply that you could export to 32 bit access from 64 bit Toad. The reason that exporting to Excel is more flexible is that Toad is creating the Excel file from scratch. In fact, you don't even need to have Excel (or any kind of excel engine) installed to export to Excel.
The reason for the prompt (in your last question, not when clicking the ... button) is that you have "If file exists" set to "prompt for append/overwrite/insert". (Sounds like you'd prefer to have that one set to "create tables in MDB file") The "Append rows" option that you have selected below refers what to do if the table exists within the file, not what to do if the file exists.
Regarding the prompt when you click the '...' button at the top, well, that's just a "file already exists" warning from the Save File dialog. You could actually tell it Yes if you wanted instead of manually editing. It doesn't know that the export action will later be smart enough to append if you so choose (but maybe it should know that, to avoid confusion!)

Rex, the .mdb bug was fixed in Toad 12.5.
> I’m using the .accdb file format, not the .mdb file format.
I know. It works for either. I'll change the text so it is not specific to one file extension or another. I see how that can be misleading.
> It seems to be an overwrite warning. I absolutely do not want TOAD to replace the file—just append to it.
Yes it does look that way. Test it.
> I think this process could be engineered to be a bit more fluid for the user.
agreed.
Of course the company I work for is in panic about moving to Window 7 from XP. We loaded 64 bit Toad (12.1.0.22) onto a Win7 computer. We get the following error trying to export to Access: "Could not load the Microsoft Access Database Engine. This is not the full Microsoft Access product, just the redistributable engine. It must be the same bit version (32 or 64) as Toad." Exporting to Excel works fine. We are looking into getting the 64 bit redistributable engine. If we have to go back to 32 bit Toad, what Toad limitations are we facing under Win7? Is there a Blog or paper discussing this issue? If so, where is it located?
Thanks,
Dave
This is done for next beta and will be in 12.11.
That error is raised whenever we do a string to integer conversion and the string is not an integer. So... that could be any one of a bajillion times within the product we do the conversion. :-) Try to narrow in on what you're doing and post back. Without reproducible steps this one is nearly impossible to track down.
Several times in the last few days I've been hastily clicking into an editor window over a string of numbers and gotten the error message "5502399004 [or whatever number I landed on] is not a valid integer". Obviously I'm doing something that's causing Toad to think I want some sort of interpretation of the thing I've clicked on, but I can't reproduce this when I go more slowly so I"m not really sure what it is that I'm doing. Does anyone know what might cause this error and how I might be calling it with an accidental click? I'm hoping that if I know what's causing this I can be more careful about not doing it.
FYI, ShortKeys (https://www.shortkeys.com/), extern application,can do that.
I use it a lot all around mine work...very customizable.
WIth Toad not running, open Toad.ini using notepad and delete these two sections (if they exist):
[ASHBrowserFilter] and [ASHBrowserFilterSave]
Hi,
Oracle 11.2.0.3 x64 on Toad (last commercial nad last beta) x64.
I have a client which have obsolete stat and bugs on version which is not supported by Oracle.
WR$% tables are not truncating at all so they are full of garbage.
ASH opening last for ages (someone probably left some search condition and now it is on every opening trying to execute which last for mre tahn 40 minutes). Whn (if!) I get ASH opened, I can reset all the filters, but ...
Is there anyway to rest ASH browser settings from outside...from some file?

This is fixed for 12.11 and will be in next beta.
I am new to TOAD and its Automation
The following executes fine when executing by itself, after including as a script in the Automation Designer when run I get
Script C:\DATALO~1\dir~1\CHANGE~1\dir\MASTER~1.SQL was executed with 3 errors and 1 compile error.
set define off
set echo on
set term on
set time on
set timing on
set verify on
spool Master_Log.log
Prompt "START Master "
@@executefromthisdir1.sql
@@executefromthisdir2.sql
@@executefromthisdir3.sql
spool off
Prompt "END Master "
I believe it is not recognizing the @@
I have many similar files to execute that are generated by a program and I need to execute them against many databases (have done this with a list of sql files, but without the @@). Thus the automation need.
Please help me to move in the right direction

I am happy to have found this post. My Excel files were growing a new tab per day because the overwrite is not working in Toad for Oracle 12.10.0.30. I never knew about the Delete File action but I quickly found it and figured it out (it couldn't be easier to use). A Big Thank you John!
