I use Toad for SQL Server 6.8.1.204 (32 bit).
I open it and without connect to any DB’s I select menu voice - TOOLS - DATA GENERATOR - .At this point I select create a new project from database.
I attach a screenshot for details :
I insert a valid credential and I select refresh button, but nothing to do.
I can’t select a DB.
How can I use a tool like this ?
In past I open other request/bug about Data Generator, but today I have the same problem.
I stay tune for your consideration,

Have you tried connecting to the database and selecting a table in Object Explorer, right click and data generator?
Hi Martin,
many thank's for your answer.
This is the results after follow your suggestions.
I attach a screenshot of the result :
As you can see I obtain an error.
Have you some others idea ?
Best regards,
Sergio
If you right click on the table and perform View Details, does that work? What are the details of the table, number of columns and data types? What version of SQL Server are you connected to and if SQL 2017 what OS?
Hi Martin,
yes I can right click on the table and view details without problems.
I attach a script of the table. As you can see itìs a simple table :
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Price] (
[ProductID] int NOT NULL,
[LastUpdate] date NOT NULL,
[Price] smallmoney NULL,
[Qty] int NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK__Price__B40CC6EDEF1FA2F8]
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([ProductID] ASC)
WITH ( PAD_INDEX = OFF,
FILLFACTOR = 100,
IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF,
STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF,
ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON,
ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON,
DATA_COMPRESSION = NONE )
ON [PRIMARY]
)
ON [PRIMARY];
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Price] SET (LOCK_ESCALATION = TABLE);
GO
I use SQL Server 2012 with service pack 4 Developer edition at 64 bits and my operating system is windows 7 professional at 64 bits with service pack 1 plus last windows update in italian language.

Hi Michael,
it’s from 2 years that I can’t use Data Generator tool.
In the past, January 2016, I’ve open another case. This is the link : http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-sql-server/f/14/t/27259
I test it with new version of beta version of TOAD SS 6.9 and the problem is still present.
Every time I want to use it I can’t.
It’s not normal…
Why do you release a tool if I can’t use it ?
Initially I can understand some problems. It’s normal with new feature…
But not after 2 years. It’s from 2 years that I wait to a fix for my problem with data generator…
I stay tune for your consideration.
Best regards,
Sergio
