Client Tools :: Passing Variable And Displaying Select Data In TOAD?
Apr 22, 2010
All I want to do is run a procedure (DO_H_RUN) that returns a number into "v1" and then use that variable to return the result sets in three selects. This is all in TOAD. If I do not have a where clause, the code executes fine (allowing me to see the data in multiple Grid tabs)! But, I want to filter the rows.
I've tried doing a number of different things (finding all sorts of stuff on the Web) like declaring cursor variables and the like but after spinning on this for a couple of hours, I'm stuck.
Here's my attempt (the names have been changed to protect the innocent!):
declare
v1 Numeric;
BEGIN
DO_H_RUN('Me', v1);
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v1); --This line works okay!
select * from h_run where h_run_id=v1; --NO GO
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.
TOAD 8.6.1 has an option of showing windows by connection. It is useful when there are multiple connections and, choosing one of these, all windows that belong to other connections are minimized.
Its icon looks like this:
Does TOAD 9.1 have the same option? I'm unable to locate it in options, toolbar customizations or elsewhere.
TOAD 9.5 Release Notes document says that "'Connection list' dropdown button has been restored and can be added to the Toad toolbar.". If I understand it correctly, it says that previous version didn't have that dropdown button, but 9.5 does.
In another words ... 9.1 might not have it at all.
I try to login as SYS@sid AS SYSDBA When I login via TOAD, I am able to. However, as in (1), all my attempts to login from command-line SQL *Plus fails. The error I get is ORA-1031 Insufficient Privileges Even if I am on the physical server and try to run the SQL *Plus, I get the same error -- Insufficient Privileges
Here are the environment details:
Server: Windows Server 2008 R2 Server: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0
Client: Windows 7 Professional Client: SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production
What i have to do to overcome the following error..whenever im using toad im getting this error since start writing and executing procedures and functions.
access violation at address 006b5b1b in module 'toad.exe' read of address 0000011d
i do have a set of monthly process, where i need to run query one after the other. Some query will take one hours time to complete but some will take 10 hours or more to execute. My problem is that we have wait or machine shouldn't hang or log off during that time ...
I am executing the query in TOAD and windows SQL*Plus. Query can run Parallel at a time.
Is the there anyway to run the query in the background like what we do in the unix nohup command in toad?
