Change Log:

Oracle client version 12.1.0.2, 12.2.x, or 18.x is recommended for Toad 14.2.

Oracle client version 12.1.0.1 is incompatible with Toad 14.2. This will be fixed in version 15.1. Details here.

The Oracle 19c client works, but it has a memory leaks with LOBs so we don't recommend it. We believe the leak is Oracle's and not Toad's. The 19c server is fine. The problem is only with the client.
