Toad is firing off a 'select * from large_table (nolock)' even though query has not been executed by user. (190323)

The following query is in the editor:

'select e.* from dbo.employee e (nolock)'

After adding the following, Toad looks like it will bring up a Code Completion pane, but does not

where e.last_name = '

At this point Toad has fired off a 'select e.* from dbo.employee e (nolock)' to the database. This has not been initiated by the user. The table is very large and causes issues on the server. The query does not show in the 'Background Processes' window, so the user is not aware that it's being run

WORKAROUND

Remove '(nolock)' from the query, or replace '(nolock)' with 'WITH (nolock)'

STATUS

Issue fixed in latest version 6.7. The latest release can be downloaded here.
