Toad Beta Change Log
Notes:
-
Oracle clients: 12cR2 and 18c are the recommended client versions.
- 19c and 21c are not recommended due to memory leaks with LOBs, as well as hangs when cancelling queries against 11gR2 servers.
- 12cR1 and older clients don't handle XMLTYPE natively.
- Toad's no-client option works well, and is a bit faster than using a client, but it has a few limitations such as Tracing/logging, proxy connections, and TCPS. However, LDAP, TNSNames.ora, Oracle Encryption and Data Integrity are all supported in no-client mode. This post has a good discussion about it. Uncheck the "Use Oracle Client" box on the login window to try it.
-
Fonts
- Segoe UI is Toad's new GUI font.
- Consolas is Toad's new Editor (fixed-width) font.
- So nice.
