TDP workbook forward compatibility with files from 6.4 to 6.3 and below

Toad Data Point & Toad Intelligence Central Idea Pond

Specifically the compatibility issue preventing files created in version 6.4 from being opened in version 6.3

Would it be implemented in future releases or a patch that fixes this dilemma for the customers?

Hi Armando,

This is a forward compatibility, and we cannot ensure it since in every new Toad Data Point version, new functionalities are introduced that cannot be recognized by the older versions.

Besides that, components are being upgraded in almost every release, so you cannot expect the new options/functionalities to be recognized with the old software. This is not something that can/should be solved, and it is clearly stated in the Release Notes:

  • Files created and saved in a specific version of Toad Data Point or Toad Workbook are not guaranteed to be compatible with any earlier versions. If such files are opened in previous versions, full functionality and expected behavior cannot be ensured.
