Toad 15.1 cannot read tnsnames.ora withOUT oracle client

Toad for Oracle
1

Hi,
We have upgraded to Toad 15.1 and, Yes! it connects without Oracle Client Installed!
However it cannot read, nor be pointed at, tnsnames.ora :frowning:
This means users need ask a DBA for database hostname, service name and port number, before that connect.
Does Quest have a timeline enabling TOAD to read the tnsnames.ora ora, in the same way as SQLdeveloper, and displaying a list TNS database names?
Ideally TOAD would go one step further then SQLdeveloper and look for Oracle's environment variable TNS_ADMIN to find tnsnames.ora !
thanks Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the feedback. I do intend to add support for TNS_ADMIN env variable without the Oracle client. I hope to do that for the next version, 16.1.

I looked at this a bit yesterday and it will be a lot easier to add than I thought it would be. It will be in the next beta.
