Toad for SQL Server 8.0 - Installation Guide

Troubleshoot SQL Server Issues

Toad Plug-in for Microsoft® SQL Server Management Studio Issues

Issue Cause/Solution

Toad Plug-in cannot be invoked from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio after you uninstalled one of several editions of Toad that resided on your machine side-by-side.

If you have several editions of Toad for SQL Server installed side-by-side (for example, Beta, Trial and Commercial) and you uninstall one of them, Toad Plug-in files are removed as a part of un-installation process.

Solution:

Select one of the following:

  • Reinstall Toad for SQL Server. All current settings will be available after Toad reinstallation.
  • Launch SsmsInstallation.exe from the Windows command prompt as administrator.
    1. Open SSMS Installation directory (<Toad install directory>/ SSMS Installation) from the Windows command prompt.
    2. Enter the following:

      SsmsInstallation.exe [Type of Product/Mode] "[TSS Installation Directory]"

      Where:

      [Type of Product/Mode] can be Uninstall, Freeware, Beta, Commercial, Trial

      [TSS Installation Directory] is the directory where Toad for SQL Server resides.

    Example:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server 7.4\SSMS Installation\SsmsInstallation.exe Commercial "C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\Toad for SQL Server 7.4"

Connection Issues

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

Issue Cause/Solution

Cannot specify a port number when connecting

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:

ServerName,Port

or

IPAddress,Port

For example:   

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

"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

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.  

Cannot establish Named Pipes 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.
Cannot establish Azure connection

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 for more information.
Cannot access some functionality when working with Azure connection.

To utilize majority of Toad functionality VIEW DEFINITION grant is required for those databases you want to work with.

Configure Version Control

About Version Control

Toad integrates with your existing version control system so you can maintain multiple revisions of objects and SQL scripts . See Configure Version Control for Objects 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 for more information about issues when upgrading version control from a previous version.

Notes: 

  • Version Control can be configured for MS SQL Server 2012 and above.
  • If you want to place database objects under version control, you must configure version control for objects using the Object Explorer. Once configured, you can manage SQL scripts there. The main advantage of managing scripts in the Object Explorer is that you can easily share them with team members who have version control configured. See Manage Objects under Version Control 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.
  • Currently, CLR objects are not supported by version control.

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.

Supported Provider Server Version Tested Client Version Tested

Apache Subversion™

 

Subversion 1.7.5 on Windows

CollabNet Subversion Command-Line Client 1.7.5

Note: Any Subversion client must have svn.exe in its installation directory to use version control in Toad.

Git Toad works only with the local repository. For commands such as clone, pull and push use an external tool.

Team Foundation Server (TFS)

TFS 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015

Visual Studio® (2008, 2010, 2012, 2013) Team Explorer Client

 

File system based 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.

The following objects can be added to Version Control:

TABLE

VIEW

STORED PROCEDURE

FUNCTION

SEQUENCE

UDDT

RULE

DEFAULT

SQL SCRIPT

Details of Team Foundation Server support:

Visual Studio/Team Explorer version TFS 2013 support notes TFS 2012 support notes TFS 2010 support notes
Visual Studio 2015 Supported (RTM or latest update) Supported (RTM or latest update) Supported (RTM or latest update)
Visual Studio/Team Explorer 2013 Supported (RTM or latest update) Supported (RTM or latest update) Supported (RTM or latest update)
Visual Studio/Team Explorer 2012 Requires latest Visual Studio 2012 update. Supports Git with Visual Studio Tools for Git extension Supported (RTM or latest update). Supports Git with Visual Studio Tools for Git extension Supported (RTM or latest update). Supports Git with Visual Studio Tools for Git extension

Note: Additional functionality and compatibility with older clients is possible but out of scope of what we are able to test.

File Version Control

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:

  • 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.

  3. Use the wizard to provide information about your version control system to Toad. Review the following for additional information:
