CRUD Matrix

• A CRUD Matrix is tabular representation of the
  data access for a given piece of SQL or PL/SQL
  code.
• Create Retrieve Update Delete
• Note that CRUD Matrices can also be created at
  the columnar level. While the name remains CRUD,
  the options are actually Create (i.e. INSERT),
  Retrieve (i.e. SELECT), Update and Delete (i.e.
  NULLIFY you cannot delete a columns value,
  rather you set it to NULL).

14
Lecco Integration

• LECCO scanner integration with code xpert for SQL
  scripts

15
New Rules for Code Xpert

• Approx 48 new rules have been added focusing on
  "best practices" for SQLPlus scripting commands.
  
• These rules are categorized and can be found
  under the "SQLPLUS" Category in the RuleSet
  configuration window.

16
Integrated Windows Scheduler

• Schedule any DDL task with Toad's new Task
  Scheduler Interface!
• Have an index that needs altered? Go thru the
  Alter Index GUI and hit the 'Schedule' Button.'
• Need to create a table but aren't able to run the
  command during Production hours? Schedule it to
  run after you leave work!

17
Just In Time Debugging
Supports Oracle Developer, Visual Basic, Delphi,
PowerBuilder, etc
This feature is extremely useful when the
client-server application calls a stored program
with complex parameters, such as cursors, that
are not easily simulated from Toad. Rather than
trying to simulate the complex environment within
Toad, you can simply connect to the external
application and then debug the code in its native
environment.

Words from a Beta User

• What you really need is for TOAD to support
  "remote" debugging sessions.
• Oracle JDev has this. Since your web app is
  running as it's own user,
• you cannot easily debug those sessions within
  TOAD. A remote debugger
• will "listen" for a procedure invocation and then
  fire up the debugger
• and interrupt the processing. This would allow
  TOAD to catch a
• web-based execution session and then drop into
  debug mode. This would
• cause the web app to "hang/freeze" while the
  debugger is running, with
• return passed back to the web app when the debug
  session is over.
• Without this type of set-up, it's very difficult
  to see the data move
• between the front end and the stored proc.
• I would love to see this as an enhancement. It
  would increase our
• productivity ten fold.

19
Operations Console
QuickConnect (c) is simply a way to get a new
connection fast, and to see them organized by
server
Offered in the Project Manager, so you can
execute Scripts across multiple databases at
once.  This shows us executing the profiler
script on the LER10G and ORSO92 databases
simultaneously
20
Export File Browser

• The Export File Browser is a new window in 8.5
  for users with the DBA or Professional modules.
  It can be found in the DBA menu, under the "Data
  Export and Import" submenu.
• This window lets you browse Oracle Export files.
  You can see what objects are in them and get DDL
  for one or multiple objects (or for a whole
  schema). You can also look at the data of any
  table (or partition of a table) in a grid, and
  use Toad's grid...save as, or grid...print
  functions.

21
Export File Browser Continued

• All of the data in the file can be exported out
  to all the Grid Formats supported by Toad's grid.
  You can also compare the contents of your Export
  .DMP file to the contents of a live database.

Note Does not work with Oracles new Data Pump
File Formats
22
Threaded Query Manager

• The Query Viewer displays currently running
  background queries, the database where they are
  running, their current execution time and the
  SQL.
• From this window you can cancel them, or display
  the SQL Editor page where they are running and
  view them in detail.
• This output panel tab will ONLY show the queries
  that have run for the active editor tab.
• Toad has a main Query Viewer window (under the
  View menu) which will show you ALL the user
  queries ran by Toad.

23

24
Master Detail Browser

• Now you are able to define
• master-detail relationships in
• the master detail browser w/o
• having a foreign key.  This
• does not add a foreign key, it
• just tells the screen what rows
• to show in the detail table
• depending on the focused
• row in the master table.
