Retrieving Data
After retrieving 2500 rows, Toad saves data to disk by creating a TMP (.tmp) file. This allows Toad to retrieve as many rows as your disk's free space can accommodate. These TMP files are deleted when Toad closes.
When executing a query, if there is not sufficient free space, Toad displays an informative message and terminates execution.
Tips:
- You can execute SQL against multiple connections simultaneously. See Group Execution of Scripts for more information.
- You can view the progress of statements executing in the background in a progress bar located in the status bar. Click the progress bar to open the Background Processes window to cancel execution. See Stop Background Processes for more information.
