Resolved Issues and Enhancements
With Toad™ for MySQL, developers and database administrators can use a familiar, proven tool to manage databases. Toad empowers developers and administrators, of varying skill levels, to rapidly create and execute queries, automate database object management and develop SQL more efficiently.
Toad™ for MySQL also provides utilities to compare, extract and search for objects, manage projects, import/export data and administer the database, while increasing your productivity and delivering access to an active user community.
This release of Toad for MySQL includes the following new features and enhancements.
You will notice that this release of Toad for MySQL has a fresh new look. Several elements in the user interface have changed, including:
Toad Data Point has a new look. This release includes a sleek new design for the main toolbar, as well as a few user interface enhancements designed to simplify your Toad workflow.
Main Toolbar: Large, easy-to-read icons make it easy to find and open your favorite Toad modules and tools.
Open Connections List: The Open Connections list has moved to the Connection/Navigation Manager pane.
Other Toolbars: For ease-of-use, individual module toolbars have moved to their respective windows. This keeps the Main Toolbar clean and display the functions you need only when you need them.
For example, the Query Builder toolbar now displays in the Query Builder window instead of the Main Toolbar.
Toad continues to provide maximum flexibility in the Toad workspace, of course. Move, float, and create new toolbars to fit your needs.
Object Explorer
Filtering database objects has several new enhancements.
When you enter a search string in the object filter field, the currently-specified Search Condition now displays in a blue banner below the field.
Connection/Navigation Manager
The Connection/Navigation Manager now includes a search feature. Use incremental search to find connections quickly.
New Commenting Feature in the Query Builder
You can now easily comment out a Where clause, Having clause, or column from a Select statement in the Query Builder. Select the Where or Having field in a column, or select the column, then right-click and select an option from the menu.
This feature allows you to easily manipulate a SQL query and still retain the original SQL text.
Other Features
Select to File Activity: When exporting to an Excel file, you can now append the exported data to already existing data on a worksheet.
The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in this release of Toad.
|
Feature |
Resolved Issue or Enhancement |
Defect ID |

The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of this release.
| Feature | Known Issue | Defect ID |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | For some languages (languages using double-byte character encoding) specified using the Current language for non-unicode programs option in the Windows Region and Language dialog, the trademark symbols do not display correctly in the installer. |
TDB-645 |
| Schema Compare | The timestamp column does not show differences when tables are updated. | ST95642 |
| Data Compare | Views do not display in the New Comparison Wizard. | ST95575 |
| Debugger | When you debug a stored procedure, Toad inserts its own statement in the user's Declare Cursor in both Procedure and Function causing a SQL error. | ST93716 |
| Automation |
There are some problems with Toad for MySQL running as administrator on Windows 7/Vista systems with UAC turned on and Outlook running. Workaround: Either run Toad not as administrator or turn UAC off or close Outlook while opening Automation and also every time you add Send Email activity in the designer. |
ST80857 |
|
Toad includes significant enhancements to Automation that affect attributes in the actual automation script. If you open an automation script from a previous version, a message informs you that the script will be upgraded so it will work in the current version of Toad. Caution: If you upgrade this script, it will no longer be compatible with previous versions of Toad. However, a backup copy of your script will be saved in the Automation\BAK folder in the Application Data Directory under Help | About. |
ST79125 | |
| Data | For some queries, attempting to right-click a row and select Row Count results in a message stating that the row count could not be determined | N/A |
| Export Wizard/ One Click Export |
(Windows 7 only) When exporting data to an Excel instance using the Export wizard, Toad stops responding. Workaround: |
ST67980 |
| Avoid using Excel for exporting if your data has numeric values that require a high precision because Excel's precision is limited to 15 digits. If you export numbers with more precision, the values are rounded. If you export boundary numbers (max, min), rounded numbers will exceed the data type limit | N/A | |
| Import Wizard | Attempting to import data that was exported to an Excel instance where the fractional seconds were truncated results in an error. | N/A |
| Query Builder | Currently, you cannot reverse engineer a query that contains a WHERE EXIST clause. | ST75090 |
| Version Control |
If you migrate settings when upgrading Toad, you may have to reconfigure the repository setting in version control if a "Failed to open the settings for module VersionControl reverting to defaults" error displays. Workaround: |
N/A |
| In previous releases, the method Toad used to generate the script was different than the current method. After upgrading Toad, a message may display stating that objects or files in version control are different than the local version. If your local version is current, you should check the objects and files into version control. | N/A |
The following is a list of third party issues known to exist at the time of this release.
|
Feature |
Known Issue |
Defect ID |
|---|---|---|
| Automation |
Automation in MySQL 7.0 or later requires .NET Framework 4.5. If you are using .NET Framework 4.0 without .NET Framework 4.5 (such as in Windows XP), you may encounter the following:
Workaround: Upgrade your Windows OS to Windows 7 and install .NET Framework 4.5. |
N/A |
| Connections |
In Toad for MySQL 7.2 or later, when connecting to MySQL using a connection created in Toad for MySQL 7.0 or earlier, some users may encounter the following error: "Authentication with old password no longer supported, use 4.1 style passwords." This is an error message from MySQL database and indicates that the connection password was created in a pre-MySQL 4.1 database. Workaround: Connect to the MySQL database using Toad for MySQL 7.0 and run the following script. Replace the YOURDATABASEPASSWORD string with the actual password. SET SESSION old_passwords=0; SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('YOURDATABASEPASSWORD'); |
N/A |
| Data |
Currently, Korean characters are not supported. |
ST41612 |
| If the value of a TIME data type is greater than 24-hours, the value does not display correctly. | N/A | |
| Currently, geometry data types are not supported. | ST70327 | |
| Import Wizard | Importing large data sets from Excel (approximately 650,000 rows) is not recommended because of the amount of time it may take. This issue occurs because the Excel import component maintains the output in memory until the import completes. This can cause performance issues depending on the available system resources. | CR219754 |
|
Export Wizard |
To export to an Office 2003 or 2007 Excel instance, the Office Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) must be installed. You can install the PIAs from one of the following locations: 2003 PIAs: 2007 PIAs: |
