| Scan SQL and Batch Optimize |
When you select the "Include Dependants" option while scanning database objects, only first level dependents are retrieved instead of all dependents. |
ST40625 |
| Connecting to Database |
When the directory where SQL Optimizer is installed has a directory path which contains parenthesis, connecting to Oracle fails when using a pre-11g client. This is a known Oracle issue that we cannot fix. This problem is more common in 64-bit environment because the default directory for 32-bit applications is "C:\Program Files (x86)\". Workaround: Install SQL Optimizer in a directory that does not have parenthesis or upgrade the Oracle client to 11g. |

ST111404 |
| Installation |
If you install SQL Optimizer 8.8.0 (or later) side-by-side with version 8.7.0, then uninstall version 8.7.0, version 8.8.0 (or later) will no longer integrate with other Toad products. This issue is found in side-by-side installations of 8.8 and either 8.5.0, 8.6.0, 8.7.0, or 8.7.1 that are of the same edition (i.e., both Commercial edition) and the same bitness (i.e., both 32-bit). Workaround 1: Launch SQL Optimizer 8.8.0 (or later) from the short-cut on the Start menu. Workaround 2: Uninstall SQL Optimizer 8.8.0 (or later) and reinstall it. |

| Installation |
Background: SQL Optimizer 8.7 (or later) does not support an upgrade from the 32-bit version to the 64-bit version (or 64-bit version to 32-bit version). If you attempt to upgrade by using the Quest Software Installer, you will receive the appropriate warning message and the installation will not proceed. Issue: If you attempt to upgrade from the 32-bit version of SQL Optimizer to the 64-bit version (or from the 64-bit version to the 32-bit version) by using the .msi installer, you will not receive a warning message and the installation will appear to proceed. However, you will encounter an error upon launching the upgraded application. Workaround: To upgrade to a newer version of SQL Optimizer that has a different "bitness" (i.e., from 32-bit to 64-bit), you must first uninstall the previous version. |
