Toad Edge 2.8 - User Guide

Error View

This view provides you with information about issues encountered during the execution of SQL statements.

  • Click the error description to highlight the statement that caused the problem while working with Worksheet

Object Detail and Describe Object

Object Detail and Describe Object are the primary ways to view and modify objects in your database (especially data in Data tab). They are nearly identical except for one key difference:

  • Object Detail is opened to view any database object of any connection
  • Describe Object is opened for each connection to view all database objects of the connection

To view an object in Object Detail window

  • In Object Explorer, double-click the object you would like to view
  • Note how each object is displayed in its own Object Detail window

To view objects in Describe Object window

  1. In Object Explorer toolbar, enable the Open Objects in Common Detail Window option
  2. Left-click any object in Object Explorer that you would like to view
  • Note how all objects of a connection are displayed in one Describe Object window

The tabs displayed in Object Detail and Describe Object depend on the specific type of an object you are trying to view. For example, if you open a table, you will see additional tabs such as Columns, Indexes and Constraints.

Data tab

One of the most useful features of both Object Detail and Describe Object is this tab where you can view, filter and edit data in your tables and views without the need of writing complicated SQL queries.

TIP: While working with records in a child table, you can quickly move to the linked record in the parent table by pressing CTRL (⌘) and clicking on the record value in its foreign key column. The values change into hyperlinks when you hold CTRL (⌘).

Button Option Description
Refresh Query Refreshes the data currently visible in the grid
Cancel Query Cancels loading of the data in grid. Useful in cases where your tables/views have millions of rows and you have disabled the Use fetch limit option
Insert Row Creates a new record in the table, simply fill in the values for all columns
Delete Rows Deletes the selected row(s)
Apply Changes Saves the value that is currently being edited
Discard Changes Restores the original data in the value that is currently being edited
Commit Transaction Commits the changes you have made to the table. See AutoCommit for more information
Rollback Transaction Rolls back the changes you have made to the table. See AutoCommit for more information
Resize Columns to Data Resizes columns so they fit the values they contain
Sort Columns Alphabetically If enabled, the columns are ordered alphabetically
Select Visible Columns Opens a dialog where you can select which columns you would like to display or hide
Sort Data Opens a dialog where you can sort the records by one or more column values in ascending or descending order

 

 Filter

Filters the currently shown data. Use the same notation as you would in the WHERE clause in a query. In case of multiple conditions, put "and" between them

TIP: The light bulb icon suggests that there is an available history of your Where conditions. Press CTRL (⌘) + ARROW DOWN while typing in the field to view it.

Object Explorer

Object Explorer allows you to comfortably navigate your databases and view their objects. The contents of the explorer change depending on the currently selected connection in Connections View. There are various options available in the context menu depending on the type of object you select.

Note: To quickly find a specific object in any database of a connection, use the Object Search function (CTRL (⌘) + SHIFT + D)

Default database (MySQL/MariaDB)

You can set any of your MySQL or MariaDB databases as default. This means that scripts in Worksheet will be run on the selected database by default if you do not specify another database.

To set a default database

  • In Object Explorer, right-click any database and select Set Database as Default
Object Explorer toolbar
Button Option Description
Link with Editor If enabled, bringing a window (Worksheet, Object Detail and Describe Object...) into focus will highlight the window in Connections View and selecting the window in Connections view will bring it into focus
Define Visible Categories Opens a dialog where you can set which categories / object types should be shown or hidden
Open Objects in Common Detail Window If enabled, allows you to use the Describe Object window. See Object Detail and Describe Object for more information
Refresh Refreshes the status of the selected object / object type / database
Rename Selected Object Opens a dialog where you can change the name of the selected object
Drop Selected Objects Deletes the selected object(s) from the database
New *object* Creates a new specific object depending on the object type you are currently viewing
Filter Filters the objects in Object Explorer according to the input. It is possible to use wildcards (? and *) and regular expressions as well as filter by multiple comma separated values

Object Search

This tool allows you to search for any database object of the currently selected connection in Connections View.

To search for object(s)

  1. Open Object Search window by clicking the Object Search button in the application toolbar or by pressing CTRL (⌘) + SHIFT + D
  2. From the Databases section, select databases that should be searched
  3. In the Object types section, check the object types that should be included in the search
  4. Start writing the object name. The search results will be displayed as you write

You can use any of the following in your search query:

  • Simple text - Toad Edge will look for the literal text string, the search is case insensitive
    • For example, "air" will match "airport_frequencies", but not "test_airport"
  • Wildcard characters - where a question mark (?) represents any one character and an asterisk (*) any number of any characters
    • For example, "?cc*s" will match "ACCESS_TIME" as well as "accounts", but not "accident_data"
  • Multiple values - use multiple search patterns, separated by commas (,)
    • For example, "test, customer" will match both "test_function" and "customer_id"
  • Regular expressions - enclosed in square brackets ([regex])
    • For example, "[^[cd]u+]" will match "DURATION" or "customer_id", but not "concurrent_connections"
