Greetings,

If you click the spool sql option, then choose to screen or file, then use a feature of Toad the hits the database, the sql that Toad executed to facilitate whatever you did, will be shown in the output. Either at tell ottoman of the screen, or in the chosen output file.

HTH

Cheers,

Tell Ottoman? That should have been “at the bottom”. Sorry.
