Lot’s of people have asked “How can I setup Toad to run off a flash drive?” The reason for this question varies in nature and intent by requestor – but the general concept is that some users need the ability to carry Toad with them. Some are contractors who must use whatever computer and/or desk is open that day. Some are database developers who must travel around their company to perform or assist with various ...

My goal is simply to squeeze as much performance blood from the Oracle turnip as possible when deployed on limited capacity equipment. The suggestions below should work for most operating systems, including Windows, Mac-OS and Linux – simply interpret and ...

Catchy title – huh? But don’t laugh, in today’s hectic world many database professionals (whether DBA’s or developers – and sometimes even end users) just wish that the Oracle database would go faster. That may seem self evident – but let’s just accept that premise for now. So what does this mean for Toad users?
Toad offers numerous database monitoring, ...

Query Builder is the heart and soul of Toad for Data Analysis. We've spent lots of time and effort working to make it very useful and intuitive. Recently, in version 2.0 of Toad for Data Analysis, we introduced a few new features including reverse engineering SQL to a Query Builder model, creation of DDL scripts and better connection awareness. The linked doc is a very nice write up that Shawn Pickett (Senior Developer) and Alan Bala (Development Team Lead) have put together.

Migrating to a database that supports Unicode is a challenge. You are safe if you are currently using US7ASCII for you Oracle database because Oracle provides a mechanism with ALTER DATABASE SET CHARACTERSET UTF8 which allows you by just bouncing the database to switch to this new character set. But what if you are currently on a different character set? In Europe we have a bunch of WE8 (Western Europ ...

Warsaw to London and then London to Frankfurt. And then a train up to Cologne. Welcome to business travel in the world of code shares! I’m in the first leg of that journey right now, and so I thought I’d take a few minutes to jot down some thoughts while there’s no internet connection available (nor allowed, thankfully). Sometimes not having access to email is a good thing.

I’ll focus primarily on DB2, as ...
