Click Connect to connect immediately while saving the connection information. Optionally, click Save to save the connection without connecting.
Tips:
Toad allows you to create a connection to a Toad Intelligence Central server.
See About Toad Intelligence Central for more information.
To create a new TIC connection, you must provide the TIC server name and then register with TIC by creating a new user account for yourself. The new user name and password will be used by TIC to identify you from among the group of TIC users and to manage the objects you create and are granted access to on the TIC server.
A TIC connection displays in the format: username@server. The username is the name of the new user you create when you create a new TIC connection.
To create an Intelligence Central connection
Register New User. Use this tab to register with Intelligence Central by creating your own account (user name and password). Review the following for additional information:
Note: If you are creating a connection to a Intelligence Central instance for which you already have a user account, do not fill in this tab again. Skip ahead to the next step (Login tab).

Toad for SAP Solutions allows you to create a connection to a database that supports an ODBC 3.0 or later driver. ODBC connectivity provides basic querying capability, but may not be as full-featured as a native connection in Toad. For a list of databases tested with the ODBC provider, see the Release Notes.
This form of connectivity allows connections to databases such as Netezza, IBM iSeries, Ingres, and Vertica.
Note: Distinct values are not available in Code Completion for ODBC connections.
DSN Architecture (Bitness) Must Match Toad
To create a successful ODBC connection, the architecture (bitness) of the driver in the specified DSN must match the architecture (bitness) of Toad. For example, 64-bit Toad requires an applicable 64-bit driver and 32-bit Toad requires an applicable 32-bit driver.
To create an ODBC connection
Select an ODBC driver from the list, and click Finish.
Note: If creating an Oracle ODBC connection, select the ODBC driver provided by Oracle. The Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver has less functionality than the driver provided by Oracle.
Specify the configuration properties required for the database in the Windows configuration dialog.
Notes:
Specify the connection properties in the Create New Connection dialog. Review the following for additional information:
General | |
Data source name |
Select the driver or data source name you added in the previous steps. |
User |
Enter the user name to use when connecting. |
Password |
Enter the password to use when connecting. Tip: After connecting, you can set a master password to further secure your connection in Tools | Options| Environment | Security. |
Database |
Select a database or schema. Click to create a temporary connection and display available databases/schemas in the drop-down list. |
Information |
|
Data Source Name |

Default Table Column |
Specify default options to use when creating a new table. Column type—Select the default data type to use when creating a table. Column length—For the selected column type, enter a default column length to use. |
Advanced Options |
Block Cursor Size—Specify the number of rows to return in a single fetch of data from the result set. Disable multi-threading—Multi-threading is disabled by default. Enable multi-threading only if supported by the driver. Multi-threading can improve performance, but can also result in unpredictable behavior if not supported by the driver. Default: Selected |
Category | (Optional) Select an existing category or create a new one. |
Click Connect to connect immediately while saving the connection information. Optionally, click Save to save the connection without connecting.
Tip: Connections are stored in the connections.xml file and can be found by clicking the Application Data Directory link in Help | About.

Bypass schema/instance selection in SQL Editor |
For ODBC connections, in the SQL Editor you can bypass selecting a schema/instance and specify this information through the script instead. This is useful if your script executes SQL against multiple schemas. To use this method, select I will set schema/instance in the script from the schema/instance drop-down list in the SQL Editor window. Then specify the schema/instance through your script. Note: When this option is selected, some code completion features, object actions, and object information tool tips are unavailable for this SQL Editor window. |
