About Working with Data

Use the Data tab of the Database Explorer to view data for the currently-selected object in the Object Explorer. From the data grid you can also export data or send data to other tools in Toad. Right-click the data grid to filter data, modify display options, export data to Excel, send data to Local Storage, transform data, or send data to a Data Report.

You can display data in a grid (table containing columns and rows), as well as a card view (using a separate record to display all entries in a row).

Note: You cannot paste multiple rows of data from Excel into the data grid.

Database Explorer

To open the Database Explorer

Select Tools | Explorer.

Or right-click an object in the Object Explorer and select View Details.
The Database Explorer opens displaying details for the selected object.

For additional information, see Database Explorer.

Use the Database Explorer with Dimensional Data

To view data and create queries for Google Analytics and SQL Server Analysis Services connections, see the following:

To view data for MongoDB connections, see About MongoDB Data Sources.

Troubleshoot Data

If you cannot edit data, click the red icon in the lower left corner of the grid. You do not need to edit fields in this window. See Edit Data in Read-Only Grids for more information.
By default, autocommit is enabled and any row changes you make are automatically submitted to the database. You can disable this option in Tools | Options | Environment | Grid. Note that this autocommit is different from the AutoCommit for scripts that you set in the lower-left corner of Toad.
Business Intelligence and NoSQL connections are read-only connections.
