The only way I’ve been able to get TOAD for Oracle 10.5 or 10.6 to
talk to Oracle on my 64 bit Windows 7 PC is to run TOAD as an
administrator. I have TOAD installed outside of the (x86) folder, I’m
using a 32 bit Oracle client and all the paths etc are set correctly.
Without admin rights, TOAD gives me the usual “Cannot initialize OCI”
error.
Is this to be expected? While it’s true that running apps as an admin
is only mildly inconvenient, it is also potentially hazardous.
Are we really stuck with running TOAD as an Administrator?

Check out the Editor options, have them disable support for ‘Expected
Tokens’, they can disable the feature completely as well if they do not
want it for Oracle object name completion.
Interesting. I did not find Available Identifiers and Expected Tokens support,
but I found “Enable Code Insight pick list” option after disabling it pop-ups
stopped.

Right, I misread the original question. Since squiggly lines are new to 10.6, my
mind jumped to that first. I’ll need some help getting out from under the
bus.
Speaking of which, I have chosen to turn Code Insight off and then request pick
lists (e.g. table columns) when I want them, using control-period. But is there
a way similar to control-period to get the popup of function/procedure
parameters? That is, the popup that used to come up after I type procedure_name(
and pause?
