Toad Edge 2.11 - User Guide

Backup

Toad Edge gives you the ability to create backups of your database/schema. Using the backup wizard Toad Edge leverages the platform’s utility like pg_dump and mysqldump to generate corresponding commands which would be used by the utility to generate backup.

NOTE: It's important that the relevant binaries are present in your system . To create backup for PostgreSQL/EDB schema pg_dump is required, while mysqldump is required for MySQL and MariaDB.

To create a backup for database/schema

  1. In Object Explorer right click on a database (schema for PostgreSQL/EDB) and select Backup.
  2. In the wizard you can select the databases and their corresponding tables that you want to save. You can select/unselect tables of your choice.
  3. Provide the path to mysqldump for MySQL/MariaDB and in case of PostgreSQL/EDB provide path to pg_backup.

  1. On the next page, you can select various options which will be provided to the platform’s CLI tool.

  1. On the 3rd step, the wizard will ask for your preferred output directory and extra command arguments which you want the CLI to use.

  1. 6. If you are all set, select Finish and you will be asked whether you want to run the operation in background.
  2. If you run the operation in background, you can still see the progress in the Progress Monitor and use Toad Edge for other purposes.

  1. If you choose to run the operation in foreground, you can still see the progress and other relevant information via logs.

Restore

You can restore your databases/schemas using backup files which were generated by the platform’s binaries like mysqldump, pg_dump and others. Toad Edge will use SQL provider-specific binaries like mysql and pg_restore to restore your schemas. The restore schema wizard will provide a user-friendly way to formulate commands for the platform’s original binary in order to restore your schema.

NOTE: Just like backup you need the relevant SQL provider-specific binaries to restore your schema.

To restore a database in MySQL/MariaDB

  1. In Object Explorer right click on a database and select Restore.
  2. Provide the path to mysql (mysql.exe in Windows) for MySQL/MariaDB and in case of PostgreSQL/EDB provide a path to pg_backup.
  3. Provide the path to your backup file. Normally it is a SQL file for MySQL/MariaDB.
  4. Select the schema that you want to restore.

  1. If you are all set, select Finish. You will be prompted whether you want to run the operation in background.
  2. If you run the operation in background, you can see the progress in the Progress Monitor and still use Toad Edge for other purposes.
  3. However if you choose to run the operation in foreground, you can still see its progress and other relevant information via logs.

To restore a database in PostgreSQL/EDB

  1. In Object Explorer right click on a database and select Restore.
  2. Provide the path to pg_restore for PostgreSQL/EDB.
  3. Provide the path to your backup file. It is normally a .backup file when the backup format is custom. When the backup format is TAR, the backup file’s format is .tar. When the format is directory, the input will be a directory.

  1. On the next page, you can select various options which will be provided to the platform’s CLI tool.

  1. Select Finish and you will be asked whether you want to run the operation in background.
  2. If you run the operation in background, you can see the progress in the Progress Monitor and can still use Toad Edge for other purposes.
  3. However if you choose to run the operation in foreground, you can still see the progress and other relevant information via logs.

Show database object count in Object Explorer If enabled, the number of objects of each type is shown next to the object node in the Object Explorer
Format script on load This option automatically formats SQL scripts in Object Detail | Script tab and also whenever you export a script to Worksheet
Confirm before closing Toad Edge If enabled, a prompt is displayed when you attempt to close the application
Selected tab in table’s Detail Explorer Determines the selected tab of table’s details explorer
Confirm before restarting Toad Edge If enabled, a prompt is displayed when you attempt to restart the application.
