Database requirements

Requirement

Details

Database client

An Oracle client is optional.

Connecting to a database without an Oracle client has the following considerations:

  • Features requiring Oracle utilities will be unavailable including, but not limited to: SQL*Plus, Data Pumps, Import/Export Utilities, SQL Loader, TKProf, TNSPing, Wrap.
  • Oracle Net Services configuration files are required for some connection methods, e.g. TNS requires tnsnames.ora and LDAP requires both ldap.ora and sqlnet.ora. These files may be placed in the folder specified by your TNS_ADMIN environment variable or in the same folder as Toad.exe.

The following Oracle clients are supported:

  • Oracle Client or Instant Client 10.2.0.5
  • Oracle Client or Instant Client 11.2.0.1/11.2.0.3
  • Oracle Client or Instant Client 12c Release 1 and 2
  • Oracle Client or Instant Client 18c
  • Oracle Client or Instant Client 19c
  • Oracle Client or Instant Client 21c

Note: You must use the 32-bit version of Toad with the 32-bit Oracle client, and the 64-bit version of Toad with the 64-bit Oracle client.

Database server

Oracle versions:

  • 10g Release 2
  • 11g Release 1 and 2
  • 12c Release 1 and 2
  • 18c
  • 19c
  • 21c
  • 23c (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Developer Free)

Important: It is recommended that your client version be of the same release (or later) as your database server. This is an Oracle recommendation to prevent performance issues.

Cloud database service

Oracle Database as a Service on Amazon EC2 and Oracle Cloud

Network

  • Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is being adopted by the US Federal Government and industries around the world. In its most basic format, the new protocol uses 128-bit addresses instead of 32-bit addresses, which are used by the current IPv4 to route packets over the Internet. Toad for Oracle features, such as FTP, access the Internet through third-party vendors that are IPv6 compliant, such as /nSoftware's IP*Works. For access to Web sites by way of the Toad Online window, Toad simply invokes the user-defined or default Web browser.

  • Toad for Oracle Subscription editions require the user to sign in when using the product. This enables the product to verify the user's identity and to check that they are entitled to use the subscription. To complete this entitlement check internet access is required to connect to Quest Software's Licensing Servers.

  • Toad for Oracle Subscription edition is bundled with Quest Auto Update, a service to periodically check for and deliver product updates. Quest Auto Update requires internet access and must be able to reach the cloud service at https://autoupdate.toadworld.com.
