Can Toad for Oracle present or show a message information banner or box right before Toad starts and before connecting to the database?
Toad for Oracle does not have the functionality where you can input your own custom message in a message box during Toad startup or connection to the database.
You may need to create your own Visual Basic (VB) program where it will display your custom message screen and then invoke Toad for Oracle. If you know how to program or how to write scripts, this should be possible.
Another way is a batch file that opens a command prompt window, displays a message, and then launch Toad.
Here’s an example:
@echo off
echo Take care when connecting to a PROD database! Press Enter to continue.
pause
"C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle 10.5\toad.exe"
Save that in a text file. Rename the text file to “Message.bat” and then double click to run it.
