Create and Troubleshoot Connections

Understand Toad Connections

In Toad, a connection represents one or more actual connections to the database. Toad creates an initial database connection for general usage. It also creates a separate database connection for each Editor (the first time you execute a statement) and a separate database connection for each Data tab in the Database Explorer (the first time you select the tab and data is queried).

The database connection for each Editor and Data tab remain open until you close the associated window; however, the connections remain in an inactive state if a statement is not currently executing.

Tips:

To view the number of actual database connections that exist for a Toad connection and how many of those database connections are active, place the cursor over the connection in the Connection Manager or the Connection toolbar.

You can view the progress of statements executing in the background in a progress bar located on the lower right side of the status bar. To cancel a script's execution, click the progress bar to display the Background Processes window. It is recommended to cancel only your own processes, as terminating Toad activities may lead to unexpected behavior.

Share Database Connections

Editors and Data tabs can share the same database connection when the connection is inactive if you clear the Use specific connection for each open editor checkbox in Tools

| Options | Editor | General. Any new executions or windows attempt to use this connection first. 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 connection is in use and you attempt to execute it, one of 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.

Toad for SQL Server Installation Guide

Create and Troubleshoot Connections

Create SQL Server and SQL Azure Connections

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

Connection window. See "Troubleshoot SQL Server Issues" (page 25) for more information

about troubleshooting connection issues.

Note: For SQL Azure connections: l

You should be granted VIEW DEFINITION for those databases you want to work with.

You must also be given explicit read-access to the master database.

You can login to Windows Azure Platform by selecting Tools | Cloud Computing |

SQL Azure Portal and providing your credentials.

Make sure that no Azure firewall rule restricts your IP address from having access to

Azure server. See "Create and Alter Azure Firewall Rules" in the online help for more information.

To create a new connection

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

2. Select SQL Server from the Group list box.

3. Review the following for additional information:

Installation Issues

The following table describes issues related to installing Toad for DB2.

Issue

When installing Toad using Quest Installer on

Windows 7 64-bit,

Program Compatibility

Assistant may appear with “This program might not have installed correctly” message.

Cause/Solution

Solution:

Select This program installed correctly to continue installation. For more information, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-PH/windows7/Program-

Compatibility-Assistant-frequently-asked-questions

Connection Issues

Review the following solutions to help troubleshoot SQL Server connection issues in Toad.

Issue

Cannot specify a port number when connecting

Cause/Solution

Currently, Toad does not have a separate field for specifying a port number.

Solution:

You can connect if you know the port number for the instance by entering the following in the Server name field on the New Connection window:

Issue

Cannot connect to a remote instance in SQL

Server 2005

"Path is not of a legal form" error message when connecting or

"Could not find a part of the path

C:\Program Files\Quest

Software

\Toad for SQL

Server\Template\Scripts\

InitialSqlServer.Sql" error message when connecting

Cause/Solution

ServerName,Port or

IPAddress,Port

For example:

10.1.29.129,1234 (where 1234 is the port number of the instance)

Remote connections may not be enabled in SQL Server

2005. Also, named instances are configured to use dynamic ports and select an available port once the SQL Server

Service starts. If you are connecting to a named instance through a firewall, configure the Database Engine to listen on a specific port, so that the appropriate port is opened in the firewall.

Note: Remote connections are disabled by default in the

Express and Developer editions of SQL Server 2005.

Solution:

To enable remote connections, see "How to configure SQL

Server 2005 to allow remote connections" at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277

You attempted to migrate settings from a previous install of

Toad to the current install, but the settings file

(InitialSqlServer.Sql) for the previous install was either removed, moved, or corrupt.

You may also receive this error if you installed Toad and migrated settings from a previous version, and later uninstalled the previous version.

Solution:

You must specify a valid location for the InitialSqlServer.Sql

file in Toad.

To specify a valid location

1. Open the SQL Server options page under Tools |

Options | Database | SQL Server.

2. Specify the location for the new install's

InitialSqlServer.Sql file in the Run Script on new

connection field.

By default, this file is located in the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server

version \Templates\Scripts

Note: Clicking may result in a "Path not found error". If you receive this error, manually enter the location in the field.

Create and Troubleshoot Connections

Issue Cause/Solution

Cannot establish

Named Pipes connection

Cannot establish Azure connection

Cannot access some functionality when working with Azure connection.

If you are trying to connect to the server using Named Pipes,

"Poll service status in connection list" option should be cleared.

Solution:

1. Open the options page under Tools | Options |

Database | General.

2. Clear Poll service status in connection list checkbox.

Failing to establish Azure connection may indicate that your

IP address is restricted from having access to the Azure server.

Solutions:

1. Select Tools | Cloud Computing | SQL Azure Portal to login to Azure Portal.

2. Create a firewall rule on the master database, enabling access to current IP address or range. See

"Create and Alter Azure Firewall Rules" in the online help for more information.

Failing to access some objects or designed functionality may indicate that you do not have proper permissions. Make sure the following permissions are granted: l
