Could you show the email from Mark? He’s the Manager of the R&D team that
makes Toad. I can think of no better authority on the subject.

Hey Jeff,
You are a genleman.
I really appreciate your help here.
However if I could find a document that Quest provide that states that 'no
data is cached to the c:' then my boss would be satisfied?
I am going to run the File System Watcher util just to double check.
Thanks, Gordon

The primary objective is to harden the install so no data is written to the

Plus to prevent a command of “spool c:\some_file.dat” from being
used? If you couldn’t stop that, you may be attempting the impossible

Author: Gordon Leishman Date: Wed Jun 08 03:32:05 PDT 2011 When you say
'writes to the server', do you mean like a Citrix server where Toad is
being hosted? Exactly, the Toad application will be installed on a Windows 2003
member server. The server's primary role is to provide management
functionality with access to various applications for support and development
purposes. In general, Toad only writes to the user application data directory
where Toad is installed. Toad would never write anything to the database server
itself, unless the user opened a SFTP session or if you used out CRONTAB
support. This is what I am insterested in as this funtionality is what I need to
provide the solution for - if at all possible??? The primary objective is to
harden the install so no data is written to the c:\local drive. What I need to
do is locate any data that could or will be written to the c:\local drive and
point to another drive. Toad doesn't cache any database data to the server
or to the client, it would all reside in memory and be destroyed automatically
when Toad closes - or at least that's how I understand it. I have been
searching for some technical documents that actually define how the data is
stored whether in memory or locally and what cach clearing functionality is
perfomed by the application but I have not been able to locate anything. Ideally
I would create a GPO - administrative template defining the role of Toad. If you
can point me in the direction of some technical doc's that would also be
usefull. Thanks for your help on this. Gordon __ Author: Gordon Leishman Date:
