Connecting
to Database

When the directory where SQL Optimizer is installed has a directory path which contains parenthesis, connecting to Oracle fails when using a pre-11g client.

This is a known Oracle issue that we cannot fix. This problem is more common in 64-bit environment because the default directory for 32-bit applications is "C:\Program Files (x86)\".

Workaround:

Install SQL Optimizer in a directory that does not have parenthesis or upgrade the Oracle client to 11g.

Installation If you install SQL Optimizer version 8.8.1 (or later) and then do a side-by-side install of version 8.8.0, version 8.8.0 will fail to launch after it is successfully installed.

ST111404

Installation

If you install SQL Optimizer 8.8.0 (or later) side-by-side with version 8.7.0, then uninstall version 8.7.0, version 8.8.0 (or later) will no longer integrate with other Toad products. This issue is found in side-by-side installations of 8.8 and either 8.5.0, 8.6.0, 8.7.0, or 8.7.1 that are of the same edition (i.e., both Commercial edition) and the same bitness (i.e., both 32-bit).

Workaround 1: Launch SQL Optimizer 8.8.0 (or later) from the short-cut on the Start menu.

Workaround 2: Uninstall SQL Optimizer 8.8.0 (or later) and reinstall it.

ST109347

Installation

Background: SQL Optimizer 8.7 (or later) does not support an upgrade from the 32-bit version to the 64-bit version (or 64-bit version to 32-bit version). If you attempt to upgrade by using the Quest Software Installer, you will receive the appropriate warning message and the installation will not proceed.

Issue: If you attempt to upgrade from the 32-bit version of SQL Optimizer to the 64-bit version (or from the 64-bit version to the 32-bit version) by using the .msi installer, you will not receive a warning message and the installation will appear to proceed. However, you will encounter an error upon launching the upgraded application.

Workaround: To upgrade to a newer version of SQL Optimizer that has a different "bitness" (i.e., from 32-bit to 64-bit), you must first uninstall the previous version.
