User can run simple queries or even on basic tables without errors, but when user runs the following query or similar as a script (F5):
select * from gV$SESSION where STATUS = 'ACTIVE' and USERNAME = 'GEORGE' order by LAST_CALL_ET desc;
Toad crashes with the error, "Access violation at address 00AB5098 in module 'toad.exe'. Read of address 0000001C"
The error may occur only once before crashing to desktop or the access violations errors may repeat itself numerous times before crashing out.
NOTE: The error does not occur if you run any query as a statement (F9).
WORKAROUND:
Downgrade to Toad 9.5 or install in a new path to have both versions installed on the same machine to use for the time being.
STATUS:
Waiting for fix to be released in a future version of Toad for Oracle.
