User Requirements

User Requirements to Install Toad

Only Windows Administrators and Power Users can install Toad.

If an Administrator installs Toad, the Administrator can share the Toad shortcut icon on the desktop and menu items with any user--a Power User, Restricted User, Vista standard user--on the computer.

If a Power User installs Toad, a Restricted User cannot do the following: l Associate file extensions.

l See the Toad shortcut icon on the desktop or the Toad menu options in the Windows Start menu. As a workaround, Restricted Users can create a shortcut to Toad from the install directory and place the shortcut on their desktop.

User Requirements and Restrictions for Running Toad

The following describes the requirements and restrictions for users who launch and run Toad: l To run Toad, the .NET security policy must be set to Unrestricted. To modify the

security policy:

1. Select Control Panel from the Windows Start menu. 2. Double-click Administrative Tools.

3. Double-click Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration.

4. Select My Computer, and then select the Runtime Security Policy node. 5. Select Evaluate Assembly from the list of tasks in the right panel and browse

to the location of Toad.exe in the File field. 6. Click Next and set the permission to Unrestricted.

(8)

Install Toad

To install Toad

1. Run the ToadInstallation.exe installation program from the CD or downloaded file. 2. Complete the wizard.

Note: On the Read-Only Installation page, select whether to install Toadas a typical install with all features enabled, or whether you want to install as only. In read-only mode, you cannot create, alter, or drop database objects.

Read-Only Installation

During installation, you can select an option to install Toad as a read-only application. This lets you query data and view objects using Toad, but all actions that can impact the database (Create, Alter, Drop, Insert, Update, etc.,) are disabled or hidden. This ensures that you can use Toad without worrying about committing a change to a sensitive production instance. The following image shows an example of differences between a typical and read-only installation:

(9)

Install Toad Silently

Silent installation provides a convenient method for deploying Toad to multiple machines that use the same settings, installation directory, or license key.

Determine Which Installer to Use

Before performing a silent installation, review the following to determine which installer to use:

Installer Advantages Disadvantages

Executable file (.exe)

See "Install Toad Silently" (page 9) for more information.

Silent installation using an exe file has the following advantages:

l Verifies whether the prerequisite software is installed, and if not, redirects you to the download

location.

l Verifies whether a version of Toad already exists on the target computer. If so, the executable uninstalls the previous version and then installs the current version.

Silent installation using an exe file has the following disadvantages: l Cannot deploy custom Toad settings files or license keys. l Installer automatically exits if the prerequisite software is not installed. Microsoft Installer file (.msi) See "Silent Installation Using the Microsoft Installer" (page 12) for more information.

Supports deployment of Toad settings files and license keys.

Silent installation using an msi file has the following advantages: l Requires manual verification and download of any prerequisite software. l Requires a manual uninstall of the previous version of Toad using Add/Remove Programs.

(10)

Silent Installation Prerequisites

Before you perform a silent installation, the following software must be installed on every computer on which you are installing Toad:

l Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (Service Pack 1)

Silent Installation Using the Executable

Use the executable file to perform a silent install to the default directory (or to a different directory) and to specify options such as logging installation messages.

To perform a silent install using the executable file

1. At a Windows command prompt, switch to the drive or directory where the

executable for Toad is located. (This file can be downloaded from the Quest web site or can be found on the Toad installation CD-ROM.)

2. For a standard installation with all features enabled, enter the following command:

“ToadInstaller.exe” /S

For a read-only installation with create, alter, and drop functionality disabled, enter the following command:

“ToadInstaller.exe” /S READONLY=TRUE

You can customize MSIEXEC command-line options and overrides for your installation similar to the following command:

“ToadInstaller.exe” /S /Lx “C:\temp\installLog.txt”

INSTALLDIR=”Drive:\your_install_path” USERNAME=”some_user” COMPANYNAME=”your_company” ApplicationUsers=”AllUsers”

Use the following descriptions to customize the command-line options and overrides for your installation.

(11)

Command-Line Options

The following MSIEXEC command-line options are used in this example:

Option Description

/L (Optional) Write installation messages to the specified log. You can append other options, such as x for debug (used in the previous example) or v for a verbose log.

“C:\temp\

installLog.txt”

(Required if /L is specified) Substitute “

C:\temp\installLog.txt” in the example with the fully

qualified name of the log file. Enclose this value in double quotations. The installation process creates this file if it does not exist. Otherwise, the existing file is overwritten.

Note: All command-line options are case-insensitive, except for /S. See

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx for more information.

Toad Default Installation Option Overrides

You can specify the following values to override Toad’s default installation options. Enclose each value in double quotations:

INSTALLDIR (Optional) Specify the absolute path for the directory in which you want to install Toad. If you do not include this path, the installation program defaults to: C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server

installationtype_version.

USERNAME (Optional) Specify the user that intends to use Toad on the target computer. If “OnlyCurrentUser” is defined for the ApplicationUsers value (see description that follows), only the user specified here (and the user that installed Toad) can see the Toad shortcut on the desktop after the installation completes. If “OnlyCurrentUser” is defined but USERNAME is not included in the installation, only the user that installed Toad sees the Toad shortcut on the desktop. If “AllUsers” is defined for ApplicationUsers, the USERNAME value is ignored during installation.

COMPANYNAME (Optional) Specify the name of the company that owns this installation.

ApplicationUsers Specify one of the following values. If you do not specify a value, the installation program defaults to “AllUsers”.

(12)

l “AllUsers” allows any user to see the Toad shortcut on the desktop after installation completes.

l “OnlyCurrentUser” allows only the user specified for USERNAME and the user that installed Toad to see the Toad shortcut on the target desktop. If USERNAME is not included in the installation, only the user that installed Toad sees the shortcut. Note: All default installation option overrides are case-sensitive.

Silent Installation Using the Microsoft Installer

You can create a Microsoft transform (.mst) file that deploys the license key, custom settings, and connections for users when performing a silent install using the .msi file. You can also use the .msi file to perform a basic silent install using the default directory or can install to a different directory and specify command-line options and default installation overrides. Note: Review the following prior to installing:

l The .msi file is located on the Toad installation CD or is available as a download

from SupportLink athttps://support.quest.com/SUPPORT/index?page=home.

l The .msi installer does not verify that system requirements have been met before

installing. If you do not want to manually verify system requirements, you should use the .exe file for the silent install.

Create Transform Files

To create custom settings files to include in a transform file

1. Install Toad on a test machine that you can use to customize settings.

2. Launch Toad and enter the license key for the product. A license key file is added to the directory where Toad is installed.

3. Add the license.key file to the .mst file.

4. Select Tools | Configuration Wizard from the menu and complete the Configuration wizard.

This wizard creates initial settings files in the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Quest Software\ Toad for SQL Server

5. Add the Settings.xml file to the .mst file.

(13)

7. Select each page in the window and set any options you want to deploy. These options create settings files in the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Quest Software\ Toad for SQL Server

installationtype_version\ModuleSettings.

8. Add the ModuleSettings folder and files to the .mst file.

9. Select View | Connection Manager from the menu in Toad to open the Connection Manager.

10. Create any connections you want to deploy. 11. Exit Toad.

Upon exiting, a Connections file is created in the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server

12. Add the Connections.xml file to the .mst file.

13. Perform a silent install. See "Perform Silent Installation Using MSI" (page 13) for more information.

Perform Silent Installation Using MSI

To perform a silent install using msi

1. At a Windows command prompt, switch to the drive or directory where the msi installer for Toad is located. This file is located on the Toad installation CD or is available as a download from SupportLink at

https://support.quest.com/SUPPORT/index?page=home.

2. For a standard installation with all features enabled, enter the following command:

“ToadInstaller.msi” /q

For a read-only installation with create, alter, and drop functionality disabled, enter the following command:

“ToadInstaller.msi” /q READONLY=TRUE

You can customize command-line options and overrides for your installation similar to the following:

msiexec /i “ToadInstaller.msi” INSTALLDIR= “Drive:\your_install_path ” /q USERNAME=”some_user” COMPANYNAME=”your_company”

(14)

Command-Line Options

The following MSIEXEC command-line options are used in this example:

/i Run the installation.

/q Specify the user interface (UI) that displays during installation. You can append other options, such as n to hide the UI or b to hide the Cancel button during the installation.

Note: All command-line options are case-insensitive. See

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx for a complete list of command-line options.

Toad Default Installation Option Overrides

You can specify the following values to override Toad’s default installation options. Enclose each value in double quotations:

INSTALLDIR (Optional) Specify the absolute path for the directory in which you want to install Toad. If you do not include this path, the installation program defaults to: C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server

USERNAME (Optional) Specify the user that intends to use Toad on the target computer. If “OnlyCurrentUser” is defined for the ApplicationUsers value (see description that follows), only the user specified here (and the user that installed Toad) can see the Toad shortcut on the desktop after the installation completes. If “OnlyCurrentUser” is defined but USERNAME is not included in the installation, only the user that installed Toad sees the Toad shortcut on the desktop. If “AllUsers” is defined for ApplicationUsers, the USERNAME value is ignored during installation.

COMPANYNAME (Optional) Specify the name of the company that owns this installation.

ApplicationUsers Specify one of the following values. If you do not specify a value, the installation program defaults to “AllUsers”.

l “AllUsers” allows any user to see the Toad shortcut on the desktop after installation completes.

(15)

l “OnlyCurrentUser” allows only the user specified for USERNAME and the user that installed Toad to see the Toad shortcut on the target desktop. If USERNAME is not included in the installation, only the user that installed Toad sees the shortcut. Note: All default installation option overrides are case-sensitive.

Install Toad on Citrix Systems

To install Toad on a Citrix system

1. Connect to the Citrix Environment as an administrator. 2. Copy Toad to the Citrix server, if required.

3. Install Toad.

4. During installation, select the Anyone who uses this computer checkbox when prompted.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each server in the Citrix farm.

Note: Although you must install Toad on every server in the Citrix farm, you only need to publish Toad once.

6. Review the following considerations regarding licensing.

l A license supplied by an administrator always overrides a user-supplied license in a Citrix environment.

l If you need to provide the same Toad functionality to all users, you can enter the default license key for all users.

l If you have users with different license requirements, individual licenses should be entered for each user. You should not enter the default license key because it enables all functionality in Toad.

Upgrade Toad

To upgrade Toad

1. Run the ToadInstallation.exe installation program from the CD or downloaded file. 2. Select Uninstall Toad and continue with install.

(16)

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Toad, you are prompted to migrate your settings the first time you start Toad. The settings files include database connections, layout customizations, shortcut keys, and options customized in the Options pages.

To uninstall Toad

1. Run the ToadInstallation.exe installation program from the CD or downloaded file. 2. Select Uninstall Toad only.

(19)

Configuration

Understand Toad Connections

In Toad, a connection represents one or more actual connections to the database. Toad creates an initial database connection for general usage. It also creates a separate database connection for each Editor (the first time you execute a statement) and a separate database connection for each Data tab in the Database Explorer (the first time you select the tab and data is queried). The database connection for each Editor and Data tab remain open until you close the associated window; however, the connections remain in an inactive state if a statement is not currently executing.

Tips:

l To view the number of actual database connections that exist for a Toad connection

and how many of those database connections are active, place the cursor over the connection in the Connection Manager or the Connection toolbar.

l You can view the progress of statements executing in the background in a progress

bar located on the lower right side of the status bar. To cancel a script's execution, click the progress bar to display the Background Processes window.

Share Database Connections

Editors and Data tabs can share the same database connection when the connection is inactive if you clear the Use specific connection for each open editor checkbox in General Editor Options. Any new executions or windows attempt to use this connection first. For example; if you share a database connection, you can execute a query in the Editor, execute another query in a new Editor, and then select the Data tab from the same connection. If the connection is in use and you attempt to execute it, one of the following occurs:

l If your database does not support executing multiple queries on a shared connection, a dialog prompts you to either permanently associate the window with a new database connection, cancel the previous operation, or add the query to a queue until the current operation completes, and the execute it. If you place multiple queries in the queue, each one executes in the order that it was added to the queue.

You can remove the option to associate the query with a new connection from the dialog by clearing the Allow changing executing connection in editor checkbox in General Editor Options.

Note: Although you can share a database connection, any commits apply to the selected window only.

(20)

Create SQL Server Connections

You can create a new connection, or connect to an existing connection from the Create New Connection window. To troubleshoot connection issues, seeTroubleshoot SQL Server Issues.

To create a new connection

1. Click on the toolbar (ALT+F+N). 2. Select SQL Server from the Group list box. 3. Review the following for additional information:

Login Tab

Description

Enter the name of the server to use when connecting.

Click to display any servers running SQL Server that are currently active on the network. Note: For named instances, enter the

MachineName\InstanceName in this field. For example:

MyMachine\MyInstance

Name Edit the nickname you want to display in the Connection toolbar, status bar, and document windows, if needed. If this field is blank, the name defaults to:

servername (login) database

4. Click Connect to save the connection and immediately connect to the database. or

(21)

Troubleshoot SQL Server Issues

Review the following solutions to help troubleshoot SQL Server connection issues in Toad.

Issue Cause/Solution

Cannot specify a port number when connecting

Currently, Toad does not have a separate field for specifying a port number.

Solution:

You can connect if you know the port number for the instance by entering the following in the Server name field on the New Connection window:

ServerName,Port or

IPAddress,Port For example:

10.1.29.129,1234 (where 1234 is the port number of the instance)

Cannot connect to a remote instance in SQL Server 2005

Remote connections may not be enabled in SQL Server 2005. Also, named instances are configured to use dynamic ports and select an available port onjce the SQL Server Service starts.If you are connecting to a named instance through a firewall, configure the Database Engine to listen on a specific port, so that the appropriate port is opened in the firewall.

Note: Remote connections are disabled by default in the Express and Developer editions of SQL Server 2005.

Solution:

To enable remote connections, see "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections" at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277

"Path is not of a legal form" error message when connecting or

"Could not find a part of the path C:\Program Files\Quest Software \Toad for SQL Server\Template\Scripts\ InitialSqlServer.Sql" error message when connecting

You attempted to migrate settings from a previous install of Toad to the current install, but the settings file

(InitialSqlServer.Sql) for the previous install was either removed, moved, or corrupt.

You may also receive this error if you installed Toad and migrated settings from a previous version, and later uninstalled the previous version.

Solution:

You must specify a valid location for the InitialSqlServer.Sql file in Toad.

(22)

Issue Cause/Solution

To specify a valid location

1. Open the SQL Server options page under Tools |

Options | Database | SQL Server.

2. Specify the location for the new install's

InitialSqlServer.Sql file in the Run Script on new

connection field.

By default, this file is located in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server

version# \Templates\Scripts

Note: Clicking may result in a "Path not found error". If you receive this error, manually enter the location in the field.

Configure SQL Server Debugging

Debugging Prerequisites

Before configuring the Debugger, verify that the following prerequisites have been met: l Disable all firewalls or open corresponding ports. Windows XP SP2 includes an

embedded Windows firewall that should be disabled or ports opened as well.

Specifically, the TCP 135 port must be opened and the Toad.exe must be added to the Exceptions list. The same is true for the remote (SQL Server) machine - TCP 135 port must be opened and sqlservr.exe must be added to the Exceptions list.

l Stop any antivirus software that can lock the corresponding components, settings, etc. l Check your security policy because it may include an access lock to the remote server.

Notes:

l The security policy can be applied to the domain or local computer. l Currently, you cannot debug CLR stored procedures.

(23)

Platforms Tested for Debugging Support

The following platforms have been tested for debugging support.

Note: The Service Pack on the client must match the Service Pack on the server unless specified otherwise.

About Version Control

Toad integrates with your existing version control system so you can maintain multiple revisions of objects, SQL scripts, and files.

Important: For this release, the back-end of version control has been rewritten. See

"Troubleshoot Version Control Upgrades" (page 29) for more information about issues when upgrading version control from a previous version.

Prerequisites

You must install a supported version control client on the computer where Toad is installed. The following table lists the supported version control providers and the versions tested with

(29)

Toad.

Supported Provider

Server Version Tested

Client Version Tested

Visual SourceSafe (VSS)

VSS 6.0d VSS 6.0d

See "Configure TFS or VSS" (page 30) for more information. Concurrent Versions System (CVS) CVS 1.11.22 on Solaris CVSNT 2.5.03 on Windows CVSNT 2.5.03

See "Configure CVS " (page 36) for more information. Subversion Subversion 1.5.6 on Windows Note: Toad only supports Subversion 1.5.6 or later.

CollabNet Subversion Command-Line Client 1.5.6 Notes:

l Toad only supports Subversion 1.5.6 or

later.

l Any Subversion client must have svn.exe

in its installation directory to use version control in Toad.

l Tortoise SVN is no longer supported in

Toad because it no longer includes svn.exe in its installation directory.

See "Configure Subversion" (page 42) for more information.

Team Foundation Server (TFS)

TFS 2005, 2008 Visual Studio (2005 and 2008) Team Explorer Client

See "Configure TFS or VSS" (page 30) for more information.

Note: Toad connects to your version control system based on login information included in the configuration. Your version control client does not need to run for Toad to connect.

Troubleshoot Version Control Upgrades

For this release, the back-end of version control has been rewritten. If you previously used version control in Toad, the following may occur:

l If you migrate settings when upgrading Toad, you may have to reconfigure the repository setting in version control if a "Failed to open the settings for module VersionControl reverting to defaults" error displays. To reconfigure the repository, select Tools | Options | Version Control | Defaults and select the previous repository in the Version control folder field. Your previous project settings are applied.

(30)

l In previous releases, the method Toad used to generate the script was different than the current method. After upgrading Toad, a message may display stating that objects or files in version control are different than the local version. If your local version is current, you should check the objects and files into version control.

Configure TFS or VSS

You can configure version control to work with SQL scripts in the Editor, or you can configure it to work with database objects and SQL scripts in the Object Explorer. Notes:

l If you want to place database objects under version control, you must configure

version control for objects using the Object Explorer. Once configured, you can also manage SQL scripts in the Object Explorer. The main advantage of managing scripts in the Object Explorer is that you can easily share them with team members who have version control configured.

l If you do not want to manage version controlled scripts from the Object Explorer, you

must create a separate version control configuration from the Editor.

To configure TFS or VSS to work with SQL scripts in the Editor

1. Ensure that a supported version control client is installed on the computer where Toad is installed. See "About Version Control" (page 28) for more information about tested version control clients and supported versions.

2. Open an Editor window.

3. Right-click anywhere in the toolbar area and select Version Control to display the Version Control toolbar.

Tip: You can also access version control functionality from the File | Version Control menu when the Editor window has focus.

4. Click to open the Version Control wizard. 5. Review the following for additional information:
