Description
Is Toad Data Point a 32 bit application? Is there a 64 bits version of Toad Data Point? -
Resolution
Beginning with release 4.1, Toad Data Point is now available in a 64-bit version of the application, as well as a 32-bit version. Make your selection, 32-bit or 64-bit, during installation in a 64-bit operating system.
For more information on this, please look at KB 218853.
Toad Data Point 4.0 and older are 32 bits application. It will work when installed in a 64bit environment.
It has limited support for 64 bit clients and drivers. Please refer to the Release Notes for the most current system requirements.
As of version 3.5:
- It does not support 64 bit ODBC drivers.
- It will support a 64 bit Oracle client (along with the 32 bit Oracle client).
- Toad installs a DB2 driver along with the application installation so it will work with the DB2 driver accordingly.
There is a Toad Data Point installer available that notes "64-bit" but that is only referring to the IBM DB2 client included with that version.
For versions 3.6 and above, Toad Data Point no longer installs an IBM DB2 client. This will need to be installed separately if connecting to IBM DB2 databases. Toad will recognize both 32-bit and 64-bit IBM DB2 clients.

Additional Information
*Note: It is an IBM DB2 restriction that different bit version clients cannot be installed on the same machine. If a 32 bit DB2 client is already installed, another DB2 client can only be installed if it is of the same bit version. A 64 bit DB2 cannot be installed with a 32 bit DB2. This is why Toad provides 2 versions of the same Toad installer, one that includes a 32 bit DB2 client and another that has a 64 bit DB2 client instead.
