What is the significance of the SqlNetCalls setting in Toad.ini?
This will cause TOAD to use the old (Oracle 7) Sqlnet calls in the OCI dll rather than the newer Net8 calls. If this is set to FALSE (0), you will be unable to view BLOB, CLOB, NCLOB, user-defined object type, timestamp, and interval data, and you may have difficulty editing data from index-organized tables. This setting corresponds to the option on the TOAD Login screen called "SQL*Net compatible Net8"
Where do all my toad settings get stored?
Properties Files Options settings for TOAD are stored in several different locations. We maintain them this way so that it is easier to reset or share only a small set of options. You can find a topic in the HELP in TOAD which lists all of these files. Look under the topic 'Properties Files'.
Where do my Editor Options settings get stored?
In these files in the \User Files directory:
| File Name | Description |
|---|---|
| [languagename]opts.txt | Options for the "General" and "Highlighting" panels |
| [languagename]keys.bin | Key assignments |
| [languagename].dci | Code templates |
| [languagename]sub.txt | Auto replace |
"languagename" will be "PLSQL" in the SQL Editor and by default in the other editors. See View → Options → Parser Scripts for the file extensions that the procedure editor and offline text editor will treat as other languages. Also, in TOAD 7.6 and up, the popup editor from the data grid will use language "TEXT" or "HTML", depending upon whether or not it finds HTML and XML tags in the text.
