Toad Beta 5.7 - Exception trace size problem.

Toad for SQL Server
1

There is a huge flaw -

There is a file in
C:\Users\Dani\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server Beta 5.7
ExceptionTrace.Log

This files keeps getting bigger, even though I’m not working on Toad right
now (it is open, probably one of the connections lost access to the server farm
due to firewall changes)
This file became 2 GB and keeps growing.

Trying to open this 2GB file got me - I got billion of this one:

New exception: 08/04/2012 20:18:46

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Cannot create a file when that file alread

y exists

Stack trace:

and it goes on and on and on…

Hello Dani,

Thanks for the report. I see similar error from Hank’s recent report, but
can’t reproduce it on our side yet. Can you please share a bit what did
you do in toad prior to this errors started blowing up?

Can you please also send me your Support Bundle from this machine to
investigate? If it is too large even in zip you can delete ExceptionTrace.log
file to reduce it.

Sending this to toad_ss_beta group. Let’s not mix up Beta with commercial
versions. Thanks!

regards,

Alexander Maximov
