Notes:

  • The Toad Sample Database and established connection that comes pre-loaded in Toad Data Studio is an Access database. The connection information for this database is:

    Additional sample files for this database are available in the Project Manager.

To create an Access connection

  1. Click on the toolbar (ALT+F+N).

  2. Select Access from the Group list box.

  3. Review the following for additional information:

    Database file

    Select the database to use when connecting.

    MDW file

    Select the MDW file that is linked to the database.

    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.

    Category

    Select or create a category if you want to color code Editor tabs for a specific connection. This can help differentiate between development and production databases. You can also set an option to color code the Object Explorer pane and object editor windows (Create, Alter, Drop, etc.). Set Connection Categories
