In my last post I outlined the method for accessing and using Quest Software’s Toad for Oracle Freeware and Toad for MySQL Freeware AMI, available at aws.amazon.com. I explained in detail how to start the instance, how to download and install an Oracle client, and how to make sure Toad Freeware recognizes the client....

Quest Software is getting its cloud initiative off the ground (pun slightly intended), and to that end, we have already established a freeware image hosted by Amazon Web Services. This image, called an Amazon Machine Image, or AMI, is a sort of template taken from an earlier prototype instance. No need to get into the specifics here; the end result is a virtual machine instance you and many others can use to evaluate Toad in the cloud.

In a prior blog post, I illustrated graphically the concept of mirroring in Toad 11’s new Team Coding version 7. In this post I will explain step by step the process in the Toad UI.

The idea behind mirroring is the same as User Mapping in prior versions of Team Coding. Mirroring allows PL/SQL developers to operate on code objects in their own workspace (such as a development schema), make changes, and then finalize the original “controlled” object by compiling the latest revision from the VCS into the production schema.

In part one of this topic, I showed you how to convert a 10.6-generated CodeXpert INI file to a Toad 11 Code Analysis action by using the now deprecated –CX switch as part of the DOS command. In Toad version 11, Code Analysis can still be run from the command-line, but it will be in the form of an action...

With the release of Toad for Oracle version 11, the CodeXpert code rules engine has been transformed into Code Analysis. It is now easier to use, features more rules, is appreciably faster, and it can be saved as an action. But if you’ve got lots of configuration (*.ini) files left over from CodeXpert command-line runs, how do you retain them for use with Code Analysis?
I’m glad you asked.
Say you...

Before the advent of Windows Vista/7 and the oft-dreaded UAC, Toad for Oracle’s configuration settings were stored under the Program Files folder hive, where Toad’s runtime files took up residence. Things are different now. User Account Control and tighter system security have obviated the need for each user’s personal settings to be stored in an application data folder most commonly under C:\Users\. Beginning with Toad for Oracle 10.0, user settings are no longer stored in Program Files. This creates a bit of confusion when migrating from a pre-10.0 version of Toad to Toad 10.6 or the new Toad version 11. Here’s how to do it. ...
