Client Tools :: Delete Table Works In Toad But Not In SQL Plus On UNIX
Nov 28, 2011
When I delete a table in Toad it takes only a one or two second until I receive success message.
But with SQL*Plus on UNIX I canceled the operation after 5 minutes:
$ sqlplus tmo323/IXQMISX8ttr@PROD

want to load data from an excel file to a database table in Oracle. I am using Oracle 11 and the excel file has 3 columns as compared to 5 columns in the destination table. I want to generate sequential nos also for the table.
I have new virtual UNIX machine and I installed oracle client on /usr/lib/oracle. Also I have a oracle database and I am able to connect to this database from my desktop sql developer.
So now I am trying to connect from new UNIX machine. Where I created tnsnames.ora file under /usr/lib/oracle/network/admin and before connecting did export the following
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist. Not sure what I missed here. using same tns file I am able to connect from sql developer on windows.
I have a problem spooling flat files in utf 8. I have 3 different sql that needs to be spooled regulary in utf8 format.the first two containing special chars is spooled without any problem, but the third that is containg only numbers and pipe-s is spooled in ansi format.
i have set nls_lang=.utf8 in my shell script, but that only worked at the first two sql the last doesnt work.
I have also tried to convert file using iconv command, but the output is still in ansi (only works if i put a special char in the ansi file then it converts to utf8 without problem) if i open the file in notepad and save as utf8 then it works, but i cannnot reach the same from unix script.
An application uses one user as a container of objects(this user is stripped of ALL privileges), and other users that can access objects in this unique schema depending on their privileges.
There can be multiple installations of the application in one database, therefore many such schemes. An environment variable APP_UNIQUE_SCHEMA points to a current unique schema.
So instead of typing
select * from my_unique_schema.my_table I want to set a current schema for sqlplus session in glogin.sql.
It would have been nice if I could have entered in glogon.sql the following line
alter session set current_schema=$APP_UNIQUE_SCHEMA;
BUT it does not work. sqlplus does not resolve the reference to an environment variable. I cannot figure out how to get the value of an environment variable in sqlplus.
I was downloaded new version of TOAD for Oracle version 10.6 and I try to connect to my current database (oracle xe) and TOAD raise an error ORA-12154 Could not connect to XE..., but with old version of TOAD 9.6 all works fine. What can be an solutions?
I'm fighting with a fairly large set of dynamic queries created by some developer (often SQL is over 2MB) accessing plenty of tables having something like 1000 columns...
Formatting of such query takes ages in Toad while is pretty fast in Oracle SQL Developer... SQL developer is running plenty write operations in local app data directory... moving it onto a ram-drive didn't worked how I could optimize Toad's formatter?
I'm often accessing a small table which has 100 columns of type VARCHAR2(4000).
The problem is that I cannot see the results of such query as Toad is throwing "out of memory" exception. How to deal with that?
Had some annoying problems with installing TOAD on Windows 7, 64 bit.Got I working now, but anyway I thought I share it here.
1. Toad 10.1(latest) doesn't work with the Oracle 64 bit client. The problem is that this is a limitation of the tool Quest uses to build Toad. So that will not work in a "near" future.
2. Never choose the default suggested installation path which is "C:Program Files(86)",that will mess it up totally. Point to a new or existing directory without brackets.
Our company has finally undertaken the task of getting us all off Windows XP and onto Windows 7. My turn came this afternoon, they gave us all clean installs and after walking through oracle client, toad, visual studio setup I finally started using it an Toad is unbearably bad. I have found:
Loaded files suddenly become read only for no apparent reasonAfter selecting a file on a network drive and clicking the open button, a blank edit pane is loaded in place of the file, sometimes it has the name of the file sometimes no name and sometimes I get an error that the file does not exist Empty file listings, I will browse into a directory that has files in it but toad shows nothing or freezes completely
I have not used Windows 7 much or this version of Toad at all I am loading much of this over the network so that is one possible culprit but it has never been a problem in the past with XP or older versions of toad
I'm using toad 9.2.7.5 to do my plsql development. How I can enable the Profiling option so that I can analyse the performance of my stuff - currently the grey profiler icon is greyed out
I know that this my question is a little to much for some DB tool like TOAD, but maybe this tip is exist and I can't find it!
Does TOAD when I write something wrong in PL/SQL (trigger for example) and after compilation (run as script) when show message:
"Warning: compiled but with compilation errors" to show what is wrong in sql code? I found this option is some db tools, but I can't find this in TOAD, of course if it can do this!
I'm placing this here since the only tool I have is TOAD to hack database. I have discovered a bad record with the system but as the date field is '0000' and the values are all hieroglyphics which I can't place in UPDATE statement. Only fields able to determine are that it's a journal entry. I tried the blow code only to be forced out of TOAD via ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel error is a generic error. How can I update the bad date fields with such limited access? Is the ROWID acceptable?
Update ft_os set ost_upd_dt = '06-dec-2010' where ost_tran_code = 'JEN' and ost_doc_ref = 'IS'
I am running TOAD 10.6 on Windows 7 (64-bit). I have two 64-bit Oracle 11g clients installed (all on the same machine). The first is Instant Client (client_1); the second is the Runtime client (client_2). The installation of Instant Client was a mistake, since it doesn't have a Network / Admin folder to drop a tnsnames.ora file into. The Runtime client is my desired client, which has the aforementioned folder that I subsequently dropped the file into.
On starting TOAD, it says that "No valid Oracle Client found. Please note that Toad only supports 32 bit Oracle Client installations". (This is odd, since my colleague is running the same Oracle Runtime client as me and has TOAD 11.6, and yet his is working fine. But, this is aside the point.) When, I click on the ellipsis button next to the "Connecting Using" field, TOAD says that I don't have any Oracle homes installed. I checked my registry key (via regedit) under Computer / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / ORACLE. It looks like I have 2 Oracle homes (because of the 2 clients).
Also, I right-clicked on My Computer and brought up Properties, Advanced system settings, Environment Variables (on the Advanced tab). My PATH variable has both of my clients.
How to make my available clients (particularly, my client_2) show up in TOAD?
Here is what I have tried thus far:
-Alter the PATH variable to just have client_2. This didn't do anything.
-Try to uninstall client_1 and client_2 via:
a) There is a Universal Installer under Oracle Installation Products in my Runtime client. I do Deinstall Products, click on any of my Oracle homes, click on Remove, and a Warning window pops up saying to run a command at some location, but the location is truncated since I can't expand the window.
b) In my client_2, there is a deinstall Windows Batch File in the deinstall folder. When I run this, the command window sits there for a little bit, saying that some files were copied and that 1 directory was removed. It then closes on its own. This doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm encountering the above msg while connecting to oracle through TOAD. While connecting through SQL * Plus I find no issues.
I have TOAD 8.6 installed and hoping to use with Oracle 10g databases. I have SQL Navigator also - it works fine. However TOAD does not. Open up TOAD and see the TNS dropdown, select a database and try to log in - click on Connect and the little SQL hour glass comes on, goes off - there is no error, no message and no connection. I have tried several databases and again, SQLPlus, SQL Navigator are both working fine.
I have some data in an Excel Sheet which is in Simplified Chinese, which I have to enter in oracle database. As soon as I paste the data into the insert statement on TOAD it gets converted into question marks.
Toad Version : 9.5.0.31 Oracle DBMS: 10.2.0.4.0 NLS_CHARACTERSET= UTF8
Chinese language is also installed on the instance with base language as US.
Due to company restrictions, i unable to use oracle third party tools such as toad, pl / sql developer etc except oracle sql developers. I heard Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio is best option to work oracle pl/sql and sql.
I am doing some work in Banner (the SCT Sungard ERP for educational institutions) and am attempting to use TOAD to debug a PL/SQL web form.
Everything that I've come across thus far indicates that I need to enable debugging, attach the package in TOAD to the external session using Debug > Attach External Session, and then call the web package [URL].
Here are the steps I have followed thus far:
1. Execute the following anonymous block via a SQL window in TOAD to get the debug session ready (I don't have SQL *Plus installed, so I did it from a SQL window instead)
DECLARE id VARCHAR2(255); BEGIN id := DBMS_DEBUG.INITIALIZE('PABLO_TEST_DEBUG'); DBMS_DEBUG.DEBUG_ON; END;
2. Load the package/procedure I want to debug into a pl/sql window in TOAD and set a breakpoint.
3. Select 'Debug > Attach To External Session', and enter 'PABLO_TEST_DEBUG', which I earlier defined as the debug session id.
At this point Toad just spun its wheels for about five minutes, and then a probe query timeout error was received.
On a subsequent attempt executing the anonymous block simply resulted in the query executing for over 20 minutes, at which point I canceled execution. I'm using TOAD for my development environment, and it's essential that I can get decent debug information.
Given the depth and complexity of the system I am working in (Banner from SCT Sungard), it is incredibly inefficient to have to insert calls to htp.p to find out where the problem is. This has, at times, resulted in a few hours of testing to track down a problem that with a proper debugging environment would be identified almost instantly.
how to enable debugging within TOAD of pl/sql packages/procedures/functions that are called via the web.
I've got Toad installed on my local machine, but for some reason editor windows won't allow me to execute SQL statements using the 'Execute as Script' option. Only the 'Execute Statement' option is available.
I can't see results from multiple queries at the same time.Tried doing a google search, and a search on here, I'm using Toad 9.7.2.5.
I installed Oracle 10g XE and Toad 10.5 in my home system.I am able to connect to Oracle from Oracle XE homepage and XE SQL command line but when I try to connect to Oracle from toad 10.5 I am getting the error 'TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified (XE)'.From toad I tried direct and TNS options but it did not work. My tns ora file looks like below.
TNS_ADMIN variable has correct parameter and Toad is directing the correct TNS file. I tried changing hostname with my system's ip but still I am unable to connect to Oracle from Toad.
