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.
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.
Use the Data tab of the Database Explorer (Viewer) to view and work with data.
The following table provides some tips for displaying data, customizing the data grid, working with data, and sending data from the data grid to other tools in Toad.
