Toad for MySQL 8.0 Installation Guide

Installation

Install Toad

To install Toad

1. Run the ToadInstaller.exe.

2. Complete the wizard.

Specify Application Data Directory

Location

Toad for MySQL 8.0 stores settings files in the user's Application Data directory. The default location cannot be modified from within the application. Toad provides two methods to change the default location: by using a

Registry setting or by using a command switch in a Toad shortcut.

Use the Registry setting method to change the application data directory from Roaming to Local. Use the command switch method to change the location to any new path.

To change Toad Application Data directory location from Roaming to Local

In the Registry under Toad for MySQL (Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Quest Software\Toad for

MySQL\8.0), add LOCALSETTINGS with a value of 1.

See the following table for default (Roaming) and resulting (Local) directory path.

Caution: All current Toad settings will be lost after applying this Registry setting unless you manually copy the settings files from the default location (Roaming directory) to the new location (Local directory). Copy the settings files BEFORE you add the Registry setting and BEFORE opening Toad.

Operating System

Windows Vista

Windows Server 2008

Windows 7

Windows 8

Default Location

C:\Users\username\

AppData\Roaming\Quest

Software\Toad for MySQL 8.0

New Location when

LOCALSETTINGS = 1

C:\Users\username\

AppData\Local\Quest Software\ Toad for MySQL 8.0

To change Toad Application Data directory location using a command-line switch

You can override the default Application Data directory by running Toad with the command switch:

Toad.exe --datadir="YourNewDirPath"

To instruct Toad to always use the new directory path, add the command switch and the new directory path to a

Toad desktop shortcut. Then use the desktop shortcut when opening Toad.

1. To add the command switch, right-click the Toad shortcut and select Properties.

2. Enter the command switch and add the directory path in quotes (replace "YourNewDirPath" with your directory path).

Toad for MySQL 8.0 Installation Guide

Installation

Install Toad Silently

Silent installation provides a convenient method for deploying Toad to multiple machines. With some customization, you can also deploy the license key and settings at the same time.

Determine Which Installer to Use

Before performing a silent installation, review the following to determine which installer to use:

Installer

Executable file

(.exe)

Microsoft Installer file (.msi)

Advantages

Silent installation using the .exe file has the following advantages: l

Verifies whether the prerequisite software is installed, and if not, redirects you to the download location.

Supports deployment of Toad settings files and license keys.

Disadvantages

Silent installation using the .exe file has the following disadvantages: l

Cannot deploy custom Toad settings files or license keys.

Installer automatically exits if the prerequisite software is not installed.

Silent installation using the .msi file has the following disadvantages: l

Requires manual verification and download of any prerequisite software.

Requires a manual uninstall of the previous version of Toad using

Add/Remove Programs.

Silent Installation Prerequisites

Before you can perform a silent installation, the following software must be installed on every computer where you are installing Toad: l

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5

Silent Installation Using the Executable

Use the executable file to perform a silent install to the default directory (or to a different directory) and to specify options such as logging installation messages.

To perform a silent install using the executable file

1. At a Windows command prompt, switch to the drive or directory where the executable for Toad is located. (This file can be downloaded from the Quest Software Web site or can be found on the Toad installation CD-ROM.)

2. For a standard installation with all features enabled, enter the following command:

“ToadInstaller.exe” /S

You can customize MSIEXEC command-line options and overrides for your installation similar to the following command:

“ToadInstaller.exe” /S /Lx “C:\temp\installLog.txt” INSTALLDIR=”Drive:\your_

Toad for MySQL 8.0 Installation Guide

COMPANYNAME (Optional) Specify the name of the company that owns this installation.

Notes:

All default installation option overrides are case-sensitive.

Enclose all values (except for the ALLUSERS value) in double quotations.

Create Transform (MST) Files

You can create a Microsoft transform (.mst) file that deploys the license key, custom settings, and connections for users when performing a silent install using the .msi file. You can also use the .msi file to perform a basic silent install using the default directory (or install to a different directory) and to specify command-line options

and default installation overrides. See " Perform Silent Installation Using MSI " on page 11 for more information if

you are not creating a transform file.

Note: (MSI installs on Windows Vista and 7) If you are using MSI to install Toad on Windows Vista or 7 with UAC enabled, you can install a file that adds a "Run as administrator" option when right-clicking the MSI file: http://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/msi-run-administrator-context-menu-vista.

Note: The installer does not verify that system requirements have been met before installing. If you do not want to manually verify system requirements, you should use the .exe file for the silent install.

The following procedure uses the Wise Installer to create the transform file.

To create a transform file that includes custom Toad settings

1. Save and install the ToadInstaller.msi file on a computer where the Wise for Windows Installer is installed. After customizing Toad settings, you will use the Wise Installer to create the transform file.

2. Open Notepad, and do the following: a. Enter the license key in the first line.

b. Enter the site message in the second line.

c. Save the file with license.key as the file name in the Toad install directory. Make sure the file extension is .key not .txt.

3. Launch Toad. The application should open without prompting you to enter a license key.

4. Select Tools | Configuration Wizard from the Toad menu and complete the Configuration wizard. This wizard creates an initial settings file (Settings.xml).

5. Select Tools | Options from the menu in Toad to open the Options window.

6. Select each page in the window and set any options you want to deploy. These options create a module settings folder and files.

7. Select View | Connection Manager from the menu in Toad to open the Connection Manager.

8. Create any connections you want to deploy.

9. Exit Toad. Upon exiting, a Connections file is created.

10. Create the Microsoft Transform file, using any appropriate tool. The following steps describe how to use the Wise for Windows Installer to create the file.

Install Toad on Citrix

®

Systems

Toad must be installed on the Citrix server by the Citrix administrator. Users then connect to this instance through their Citrix login.

Note: Limited testing has been performed for Citrix XenApp™ 5.0 support on Windows Server

Citrix XenApp 6.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2.

2003 and for

To install Toad on a Citrix system

1. Connect to the Citrix Environment as an administrator.

2. Copy Toad to the Citrix server, if needed.

3. Start the Toad installation process.

4. During installation, select the Anyone who uses this computer checkbox when prompted.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each server in the Citrix farm.

Note: Although you must install Toad on every server in the Citrix farm, you only need to publish Toad once.

6. Review the following considerations regarding licensing: l

A license supplied by an administrator always overrides a user-supplied license in a Citrix environment.

If you need to provide the same Toad functionality to all users, you can enter the default license key for all users.

If you have users with different license requirements (for example, some have Standard licenses and others have Professional licenses), individual licenses should be entered for each user. You should not enter the default license key because it enables all functionality in Toad.

Toad for MySQL 8.0 Installation Guide

Installation

Upgrade Toad

To upgrade Toad

1. Run the ToadInstaller.exe installation program from the DVD or downloaded file.

2. Select Uninstall Toad and continue with install.

3. Complete the wizard.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Toad, you are prompted to migrate your settings the first time you start Toad. The settings files include database connections, layout customizations, shortcut keys, and options customized in the Options pages.

To migrate the settings again, remove or rename the current version's Application Data folder and migrate the files from the previous version's Application Data folder.

Upgrade Automation Scripts and

Scheduling Tasks

If you upgrade to a newer version of Toad, Automation scripts created in a previous version must be upgraded before you can open them in the newer version. Toad prompts you to automatically upgrade a script when you attempt to open it in a newer version.

In addition, scheduled scripts are scheduled to run using the version of Toad in which they were created. After upgrading Toad, those previously-created, scheduled scripts will not execute in the newer version until you migrate each script's scheduling task. Toad prompts you to migrate scheduling tasks when you initially launch the application after installation.

Upgrade Automation Scripts to Newer Version of Toad

An automation script is compatible with the version of Toad in which the script was created. If you want to open and/or modify a script using a newer version of Toad, you must upgrade the script. Toad automatically prompts you to upgrade the script the first time you open it in the newer version.

To upgrade an Automation script

1. Open the script in Toad. Toad prompts you to upgrade the script.

2. To upgrade the script, select Yes.

Toad for MySQL 8.0 Installation Guide

Installation

Caution: An automation script is no longer compatible with previous versions of Toad after an upgrade.

3. Select No (and do not elect to save the script), to keep the script compatible with the previous version.

4. If you selected Yes, Toad upgrades your script and saves a backup copy of the original script in the following location:

<application data directory>\Automation\bak\

5. If the script you upgraded is also scheduled, you must migrate the scheduling task, otherwise the upgraded script will fail to run.

Migrate Scheduling Tasks to Newer Version of Toad

Each scheduled Automation script uses a Windows scheduling task. The scheduling task specifies which version of Toad to use by specifying the version's application path. Toad provides you with two easy ways to migrate your scheduled scripts' scheduling tasks when you upgrade Toad. First, Toad prompts you to migrate scheduling tasks upon initial launch of the application after installation. Next, you can migrate scheduling tasks at any time using the Job Manager.

Notes:

If you upgrade a previously-created script by opening it in a newer version of Toad, you must also migrate the scheduling task to the newer version.

If you install the newer version of Toad side-by-side with the older version, previously-created, scheduled scripts will continue to execute using the older version, until you migrate the scheduling tasks

(provided that you do not open the scripts in the newer version).

To migrate scheduling tasks upon initial launch

1. After upgrading Toad, and upon initial launch of the application, the Migrate Scheduled Tasks dialog opens.

2. Select the scheduled tasks (scheduled Automation scripts) to migrate to the new version of Toad.

3. Click OK to close the dialog.

4. Toad immediately prompts you for your Windows password. Enter your password to migrate the scheduled tasks.

To migrate scheduling tasks using the Job Manager

1. Select Tools | Administer | Job Manager.

2. Click on the Job Manager toolbar.

3. Select the scheduled tasks to migrate and click OK.

Note: Only currently-scheduled tasks (enabled or disabled) are listed in the Migrate Scheduled

Tasks dialog.

4. Toad immediately prompts you for your Windows password. Enter your password to migrate the scheduled tasks.

Manually Edit Scheduling Tasks

On occasion you may need to modify the application path in a Windows scheduling task. You can do this by manually editing the scheduling task using the following procedure.

Toad for MySQL 8.0 Installation Guide

Installation

To manually edit a scheduling task

1. In the Job Manager (Tools | Administer | Job Manager), right-click a task and select Edit Task.

2. To change the version of Toad used to run the script, in the Actions tab, change the folder name in the

toad.exe path.

Uninstall Toad

If you uninstall Toad, it may not uninstall completely. When you use Toad, you create new files such as SQL scripts, data output, or temp files, etc. The following types of files are not removed when you uninstall: l

Any new files you create l

Any copies of files you make for backup purposes l

Settings files

You can uninstall Toad for MySQL by using the Installer or by using the Windows Add/Remove Programs (or

Uninstall a program) feature. Using the Installer is the preferred way to uninstall Toad for MySQL.

To uninstall Toad

1. Run the ToadInstaller.exe.

2. Select Uninstall Toad for MySQL only.

3. Complete the wizard.

Licensing

To enter your license key

1. Select Help | Licensing from the menu (ALT+H+L).

2. Review the following for additional information:

Authorization key

Site message

Enter the license key for Toad.

Enter the site message included with the license key.

2 Create and Troubleshoot Connections

Understand Toad Connections

Review this topic to learn about open database connections in Toad.

Toad Open Connections

In Toad, an open connection in the Connection/Navigation Manager represents one or more actual connections to the database. When you open a database connection in Toad: l

Toad creates an initial database connection for general use.

Toad also creates a separate database connection for each Editor (the first time you execute a statement) and for each Data tab in the Database Explorer (the first time you select the tab and query data).

The connection associated with the window (or tab) remains open until you close the window. If a window has an associated connection, but a statement is not currently executing, the connection is in an inactive state.

To view information for an open connection

To view the number of actual database connections that exist for a Toad connection, including the number of active connections, place the cursor over the connection in the Connection/Navigation

Manager pane or in the connection drop-down list.

To use the Background Processes pane

When a statement is executing, a progress bar displays in the Status bar located at the bottom of the

Toad application window. Click the executing progress bar to open the Background Processes pane.

To cancel statement execution, use the Background Processes pane.

Note: It is recommended that you cancel only your own processes, because terminating Toad activities could cause unexpected behavior.

Sharing a Connection Among Windows

You can instruct Toad to share an open connection among windows. In this way, the Editor windows and Data tabs can share the same connection when the connection is inactive.

To share a database connection among windows in Toad

1. Select Tools | Options | Editor | General.

2. Clear the checkbox for the Use individual connection for each open editor option.

3. When this option is not selected, Toad attempts to use a single connection for any new windows or query

Toad for MySQL 8.0 Installation Guide

Create and Troubleshoot Connections

execution. For example, if you share a database connection, you can execute a query in the Editor, execute another query in a new Editor, and then select the Data tab from the same connection.

If the single connection is in use when Toad attempts to execute it, the following occurs: l

If your database does not support executing multiple queries on a shared connection, a dialog prompts you to either permanently associate the window with a new database connection, cancel the previous operation, or add the query to a queue until the current operation completes, and the execute it. If you place multiple queries in the queue, each one executes in the order that it was added to the queue.

Note: Although you can share a database connection, any commits apply to the selected window only.

Create MySQL Connections

You can create a new connection, or connect to an existing connection from the Create New Connection

window. See " Troubleshoot MySQL Issues " on page 19 for more information about troubleshooting MySQL

connection issues.

To create a MySQL connection

1. Click on the toolbar (ALT+F+N).

3 Configure Version Control

About Version Control

Toad integrates with your existing version control system so you can maintain multiple revisions of objects. See

" Configure Version Control for Objects " on page 23 for more information on configuring version control in Toad.

For Version Control of your files handled by Toad see

Version Control for Toad Files .

Important: See "Troubleshoot Version Control" on page 27 for more information about issues when upgrading

version control from a previous version.

Notes:

If you want to place database objects under version control, you must configure version control for

objects using the Object Explorer. See "Manage Objects under Version Control" on page 25 for more information.

If you rename a version controlled object, Toad drops the original object and its history from version control and prompts you to add the renamed object to version control. This newly renamed object does not have any history associated with it.

Prerequisites

You must install a supported version control client on the computer where Toad is installed. The following table lists the supported version control providers and the versions tested with Toad.

(2008, 2010, 2012, 2013) Team Explorer Client

Toad allows to utilize practically any version control system using the external client tool. In this case Toad Version Control tool works with the directories at local HDD while you commit changes to the repository with version control client tool.

Note: Toad connects to your version control system based on login information included in the configuration.

Your version control client does not need to run for Toad to connect.

Version Control for Toad Files

Toad can integrate with your existing version control system allowing you to maintain multiple versions of Toad files. After you integrate Toad with your version control system, you can perform version control tasks directly from within Toad, such as commit file changes and retrieve revisions.

Toad supports the following version control systems for managing Toad files: l

Apache Subversion™—Toad has been tested with Subversion 1.7.5 and 1.8.

The following types of files can be managed using version control from within Toad: Editor (.tef, .sql, .txt), Query

Builder (.tsm), ER Diagram (.ter), and Automation (.tas).

Toad supports version control for database objects, as well as files. Version control for objects is configured separately from version control for files. For more information about version control for objects, see

Configure

Version Control for Objects

To configure version control for Toad files

1. Ensure that an Apache Subversion client is installed on the same computer as Toad.

2. In Toad, open one of the supported file types. Then right-click the document window tab and select File

Version Control | Version Control Wizard. This action opens the Version Control Wizard which allows you to configure Toad for your version control system.

Note: Even if you previously configured version control for objects, you must run the Version Control

Wizard again to configure version control for files.

To add objects under version control

» Right-click an object and select Commit.

Tips:

The objects under version control are marked with sign at the top right corner of the object's icon.

Description

The object is under version control and has been modified in version control repository.

The object is under version control but for some reason its status cannot be determined (for example, you created a script in your local database while the script with the same name already exists in version control repository, or you upgraded to a higher version of Toad and configured version control for the same repository while you have some uncommitted changes in the database).

Tip: If you are sure that the object is up to date but is listed as unknown, commit the object in version control system to resolve unknown status.

The object was under version control, but it was dropped or renamed in local database and exists only in version control repository.

Tip: You can see deleted objects in the Controlled objects pane only.

To access it right-click any object and select Show perspective. Once you commit changes in Controlled objects pane, the object with all history will be deleted from version control repository.

Troubleshoot Version Control

Troubleshoot Upgrades

For this release, the back-end of version control has been rewritten. If you previously used version control in

Toad, the following may occur: l

Version control settings are not migrated from the previous version of Toad, so you have to reconfigure version control in Toad.

In previous releases, the method Toad used to generate the script was different than the current method.

After upgrading Toad and reconfiguring version control, the local revision of the objects differs from version control repository (The objects have Unknown status). If the object in your database is current, you should commit it into version control.

Troubleshoot Other Issues

Review the following to help troubleshoot issues with version control:

Apache

Subversion™

Issues

System cannot find file

Description

Command execution

If a message stating that, “The system cannot find the file specified” displays, this usually means that the Subversion executable cannot be found in the path you specified in the

BinaryPath field of the Command Based Version Control Properties window. Verify that

svn.exe exists in the directory you specified in this field.

When executing Subversion commands, user input is not allowed. This presents an issue when the user is using Subversion with the SSH method and must enter a password to establish the Secure Shell.

Workaround:

Generate identity keys that automatically authenticate between the client and the server when connecting with SSH.

OutOfMemory exception when adding a large number of objects

SVN is missing in the list of available providers

Object Issues

Adding multiple objects failed

Script Issues

Canceled check-in

When adding a large number of objects, Subversion may encounter OutOfMemory exception.

Workaround:

Commit objects in several steps.

If Subversion is missing in the list of available version control providers, it means that

Subversion.xml was removed or corrupted.

Workaround:

Contact Support to get a new Subversion.xml and place it under <Toad install

path>/Templates/Version Control/

Description

When you add multiple objects to version control, the objects are grouped and added in batches (for example, all the tables for a particular schema are added at once). If an error

(for example, failure to support Korean characters) causes this command to fail, none of the objects are added.

Description

SQL scripts remain checked out if a change was made to the text, but check-in was canceled during the prompt for a check-in comment. This behavior is by design—that is; the user can either undo the checkout or check in the script using the right-click menu in the Scripts node/folder/tab of the Object Explorer.

Note: If you alter the object again, you receive a prompt to use the “locally changed” script.

Click Yes to use the locally changed copy; click No to refresh the local copy from the source repository; click Cancel to cancel the prompt.
