Third Party Known Issues

The following is a list of third party issues known to exist at the time of this release.

Feature

Known Issue

Defect ID

Automation

Automation in MySQL 7.0 or later requires .NET Framework 4.5. If you are using .NET Framework 4.0 without .NET Framework 4.5 (such as in Windows XP), you may encounter the following:

  • After running a scheduled Automation script, Toad generates an error message even though the script executes successfully.

Workaround: Upgrade your Windows OS to Windows 7 and install .NET Framework 4.5.

N/A
Data

Currently, Korean characters are not supported.

 ST41612
If the value of a TIME data type is greater than 24-hours, the value does not display correctly. N/A
Currently, geometry data types are not supported. ST70327
Import Wizard Importing large data sets from Excel (approximately 650,000 rows) is not recommended because of the amount of time it may take. This issue occurs because the Excel import component maintains the output in memory until the import completes. This can cause performance issues depending on the available system resources.

Export Wizard

To export to an Office 2003 or 2007 Excel instance, the Office Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) must be installed. You can install the PIAs from one of the following locations:  

2003 PIAs:

Export Wizard Avoid using Excel for exporting if your data has numeric values that require a high precision because Excel's precision is limited to 15 digits. If you export numbers with more precision, the values are rounded. If you export boundary numbers (max, min), rounded numbers will exceed the data type limit. N/A
