Is it possible to launch TOAD from a shortcut and connect to multiple schema?
For example, to be able to set up a number of shortcuts, shortcuts a, b, c, d etc:
a. launches Toad and connects to all schemas in LIVE and TEST for application A
b. launches Toad and connects to all schemas in LIVE and TEST for application B
c. launches Toad and connects to all LIVE schemas in applications A AND B
d. launches Toad and connects to all TEST schemas in applications A AND B
To create a new shortcut:
From the desktop or Windows Explorer, copy the original shortcut to Toad.
Rename the shortcut to reflect the function you want to perform: for example, "Toad Auto Exec DO_PROC".
To include command line options in your shortcut:
Select the shortcut, right-click and select Properties
Click the Shortcut tab, and enter the command line in the Target box
Command Line Formats
The command line should be formatted as follows:
Toad.exe -max -c schema/password@db "schema2/password@db as sysdba"
eg: C:\>Toad.exe -max -c scott/tiger@db "sys/sys@db as sysdba"
This will launch Toad maximized, create scott and sys connections
