Does anyone know how to connect to a SQL Server Database via Toad and update a Table?
Download and install Toad for SQL Server or Toad Data Point - different products. First is a Toad for SQL Server sort of like Toad for Oracle. Toad Data Point is a multi-platform tool which can connect to many different types of databases.
You mentioned you want to update a table, so I’m not sure if this will work for what you need, but just so you are aware… As of 12.1, you can import and export to other ODBC sources. So, if you had ODBC setup, and were connecting that way, you could run a query in Toad, go to Export Dataset (select ODBC), and export those rows directly to the table. It kind of sounds like you want to run an update statement tho, so this probably won’t work for your needs. You could always do a dblink as well, but that can get messy (if my memory serves me correctly). It’s been a long time since I had to do something like that.
dblink is for connection to another oracle database - a remote connection of sorts. You would need Oracle gateways product in order to have Oracle talk to SQL Server. But as Brad mentions and I blooged on in Toad World - Toad can do some limited ODBC stuff now

ah yes…I should have clarified the dblink piece.

Sometimes you have to pick the right tool for the right job.
