Toad Data Studio 1.1 - Installation Guide

Installation

System Requirements

Review the following client and database server requirements for Toad® Data Studio.

Client Requirements

Before installing Toad, ensure that your client system meets the following minimum hardware and software requirements:

Requirement Details

Platform

2 GHz processor (recommended minimum)

Memory

8 GB of RAM minimum, 16 GB recommended

Additional RAM Requirements: Using Local Storage, Cross-Connection Query, Business Intelligence connections, or NoSQL connections can require an additional 500 MB of RAM. These features start processes (mysqld.exe, hubproxy.exe) which persist for the Toad session.

Note: The memory required may vary based on the following:

  • Applications that are running on your system when using Toad
  • Size and complexity of the database
  • Amount of database activity
  • Number of concurrent users accessing the database

Hard Disk Space

800 MB to install Toad

450 MB to run Toad

Additional Recommendations: For retrieving large queries, allow 10 GB free disk space (or more, depending on the size of the data being retrieved). After retrieving 2500 rows, Toad saves data in a TMP (.tmp) file in the user's Temp directory. These TMP files are deleted when Toad closes.

Operating System

Windows Server® 2012

Windows Server® 2012 R2

Windows Server® 2016

Windows Server® 2019

Windows Server® 2022

Windows® 8.1

Windows® 10

Windows® 11

.NET Framework

Microsoft® .NET Framework 4.7.2

Teradata® .NET Data Provider

You must install the Teradata .NET Data Provider (13.10 or later) to use a Teradata native connection in Toad.

Note: To use a Teradata connection in a cross-connection query, you must also install a Teradata (13.10 or later) ODBC driver.

Additional Software

Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019. This software is required. It is included in installation using the .exe installer. If using the .msi installer, ensure that this software is installed prior to installation. See Visual C++ Redistributable for VS 2019.

For 64-bit Toad Data Studio, both 32-bit and 64-bit Visual C++ packages are required.

Database Client

DB2® Client

Toad no longer installs a DB2 Client along with the Toad application. When connecting to a DB2 database, ensure that you have a DB2 Client or IBM Data Server Driver installed. Toad supports DB2 Client versions 9.7.6 through 11.1.

Oracle® Client

Toad can connect to Oracle using Direct Connect (no Oracle Client required) or using an Oracle Client or Oracle Instant Client. However, if you want to use LDAP, you must install an Oracle Client. Toad supports 9i or later Oracle Clients and Oracle Instant Clients.

Notes:

  • You cannot use Oracle Direct Connection in a cross-connection query.
  • To use an Oracle connection in a cross-connection query, you must install an Oracle Client (full install) or you must install the Oracle Instant Client plus the Oracle ODBC driver.
ODBC Driver

In order to create a native Snowflake connection, you must install the ODBC Driver 2.24.2 (or later) provided by Snowflake. Upon installing and configuring the driver, Toad Data Studio will be set for this type of connection.

Note: New versions of the Snowflake ODBC Driver are backward-compatible, but there is no guarantee that earlier versions are forward-compatible. Active monitoring and maintaining of installed versions is advised.

For more information regarding the process of creating Snowflake connections, please refer to the Installation Guide and User Guide.

 

To create a connection to an Amazon Redshift database you must install the Amazon Redshift ODBC driver 1.3.1.1000 (or later version) on client computers accessing an Amazon Redshift data warehouse.

Install Toad

 

To install Toad

  1. Run the ToadInstaller.exe.

    For individual installation, the .exe file is recommended. The Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable is required by Toad. This software is included in the installation when using the .exe file, but not when using the .msi file. Please ensure Visual C++ Redistributable for VS 2015 is installed prior to installation using the .msi file. See MSI Prerequisites for more information.

    For help with installation errors, see Troubleshoot Installation Errors.

  2. Select a destination folder and other options. Review the following for additional information.

    Install Wizard Page Description
    Destination Folder

    Select a destination folder or use the default.

    Additional Properties

    Allow saving passwords(default) Select to allow Toad to save passwords for data source connections.

    Prohibit saving passwords—Select to prohibit Toad from saving connection passwords.

    Note: If this option is selected, the Automation module will be disabled in this installation of Toad.

Troubleshoot Installation Errors

Error Message: The Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable is not installed correctly

You might encounter this error if the prerequisites for the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable are not installed prior to installing Toad. If you encounter this error, do the following:

  1. Uninstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable using the Control Panel.
  2. Install the missing software. See Universal C Runtime Update Prerequisites or use one of the following links:
  3. Run the ToadInstaller.exe again.

Specify App Data Directory Location

Toad Data Studio 1.1 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 Data Studio (Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Quest Software\Toad Data Studio\1.1), 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

Default Location New Location when
LOCALSETTINGS = 1

Windows Server 2008

Windows 7

Windows 8

Windows 10

C:\Users\username\ AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad Data Studio 1.1

C:\Users\username\ AppData\Local\Quest Software\ Toad Data Studio 1.1

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).
