IPv6 Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is being adopted by the US Federal

Government and industries around the world. In its most basic format, the

new protocol uses 128-bit addresses instead of 32-bit addresses used by

the current IPv4 to route packets over the Internet. Toad for Oracle

features such as FTP access the Internet through third-party vendors such

as /nSoftware's IP*Works that are IPv6 compliant. For access to Web sites

by way of the Toad Online window, Toad simply invokes the user-

defined or default Web browser.

Toad for Oracle Installation Guide

Installation Requirements

Required Windows Privileges

In order to install and run Toad for Oracle, make a connection, and do basic operations, you must

have the following privileges:

Operating System Requirements

Windows XP

Windows Server

lRead access to the Oracle client folder

lRead/write privileges on the Oracle Homes directories

that you use for your connections

lBe a Power User or Administrator

Windows Vista

Windows 7

lRead access to the Oracle client folder

lRead/write privileges on the Oracle Homes directories

Install Toad

Install or Upgrade Toad

When you install Toad you can also install the additional applications that come with your Toad

Bundle, such as SQL Optimizer (SQL Tuning) or Toad Data Modeler.

If you already have Toad installed and you run the installer for a newer version, Toad

automatically imports your settings files.

lInstall the 32-bit version of Toad if you are using a 32-bit Oracle client.

lInstall the 64-bit version of Toad if you are using a 64-bit Oracle client.

Caution: If you also have the freeware version of Toad, you should not install the

commercial version over the freeware version. This will adversely affect some functions.

Install the commercial version in a different directory from the freeware version.

Notes:

lToad supports importing settings only if the new version is within two releases of the

previous version. If your versions are more than two releases apart, you need to install an

intermediate version to successfully import the files.

lIf you need to import your Toad settings from another computer, you can manually import

the settings. See "Manually Import Toad Settings" (page 8) for more information.

To install Toad for Oracle

1. Run the Toad bundle installation program from the DVD or download file.

2. Complete the wizard.

Note: On the Read-Only Installation page, select whether to install Toad as a typical

install with all features enabled, or whether you want to install as read-only. In read-only

mode, you cannot create, alter, or drop database objects.

Install Toad on Citrix or Remote Desktop

Services Systems

All user files are stored in a user_name directory. When a user opens Toad for the first time, Toad

copies the contents of this folder to the user’s associated Application Data folder for Toad.

Note: Write access is required to the Oracle directory if any of the users want to edit the

tnsnames.ora file by using the TNSNames Editor.

Toad for Oracle Installation Guide

2. Copy Toad to the Citrix/Remote Desktop Services server, if required.

3. Install Toad.

4. Right-click Toad.exe and select Properties. Make sure the Allow non-administrators to

publish Toad once.

Uninstall Toad

When you use Toad, you create new Toad files such as SQL scripts, data output, or temp files.

When you run uninstall, Toad has no way of knowing what those files are, so it does not remove

files that you have created. You must manually delete them.

To uninstall Toad

» From Start | Programs | Quest Software | Quest Installer, select the Quest Installer, and

then follow the instructions for uninstalling the appropriate program.

Manually Import Toad Settings

Toad automatically imports your previous settings when you upgrade to a new version.

However, there are cases when you may need to manually import your Toad settings.

If you just need to import your connection settings or saved SQL, Toad has features that allow

you to easily import and export them from one copy of Toad to another. Review the following

topics in the online help for additional information:

lImport/Export Connection Settings

lImport/Export Saved SQL

Watch the Manually Importing Toad for Oracle Settings video on Quest's video channel.

Note: Toad supports importing settings only if the new version is within two releases of the

previous version. If your versions are more than two releases apart, you need to install an

intermediate version to successfully import the files.

Import Settings

Silently Install Toad

About Installing Silently

In order to perform a silent install, you must first extract the MSI file from the Quest Installer.

Once the extraction completes, you can easily install through the silent install batch file, or

install through the command line.

Note: You do not need to install the Quest Installer on any of the computers where you

are silently installing Toad products. The Quest Installer is only used to extract the

required MSI files.

To install silently

1. Extract the MSI from the Quest Installer.

2. Silently install the product. Select one of the following options:

Run silent install

batch file

Run SilentInstall.bat to install the product. This file is located

with the extracted MSI files.

This is the easiest option to install silently. It uses all of the

default options.

Install through

command line

Execute command-line parameters to install.

This option allows you to change the parameters to fit your

environment or standards, such as installing to a different

directory.

nExtract MSI Files

nnTo extract MSI files from the Quest Installer

1. Run your Toad bundle from the command prompt, including the correct path to the

directory where it resides and the /extract parameter. Since the executable contains

spaces, remember to include quotation marks. For example:

Install Patches Silently

If you already have Toad installed and want to upgrade silently, you must include

REINSTALLMODE=vo REINSTALL=ALL in the command. If these parameters are not included, the

MSI registers that Toad is already installed and does not upgrade it.

For example, if you are currently in the directory where the MSI resides, entering the following

command installs to the standard location:

msiexec.exe /i <path to msi file\ToadforOracle<version>SetupFull.msi>

REINSTALLMODE=vo REINSTALL=ALL

INSTALLDIR="C:\Programs\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\" /q /l*v

"C:\install.log"
