Toad 25.3 not tracking container in connection tab

Toad for Oracle & DevOps Toolkit

Hey there Quest peeps, I have noticed an issue in which Toad does not always correctly track the container properly in the connection tab. Here is what happens:

  1. Open a connection that goes to a PDB instead of root.
  2. In Editor window, alter session to cdb$root.
    Session switches to root successfully but connection tab does not change. The tab shows no “/ CDB$ROOT” container but just the original name of the tab without a container name.
  3. alter session back to original PDB.
    Session switches to PDB successfully but connection tab now shows “/ CDB$ROOT” even though the connection is back to the PDB.
  4. alter session AGAIN to the PDB.
    Session stays in the PDB and connection tab clears the “/ CDB$ROOT” container info.

Are you folks able to replicate this behavior?

Cheers,
Russ

Hi Russ.

This was discovered and fixed early in the 26.1 beta cycle. The fix will be included in the upcoming release.

Until you are on 26.1....as a workaround, right-click on the connection bar button to change containers rather than run 'alter session' commands in the editor.
