Differences in Grids between Toad 9.7 and 10

Toad 10 grids have been enhanced and made consistent throughout Toad.

  • There are some basic cosmetic differences:

    Toad 10

    9.7

  • The navigator has moved to the bottom of the grid:

    Toad 10

    Toad 9.7

    Here is a break down of the Navigation Bar buttons and their descriptions:

    • As shown in Get to Know Toad 10, you can now bookmark one location in the grid and return to it later. Put your cursor in the row you want to bookmark and click the Save Bookmark button on Navigator toolbar.

    • To return to the bookmark, click the Goto Bookmark button.

  • In Toad 10, the grids are now compatible with Unicode This allows you to see UTF8, UTF16 and UTF32 data where in Toad 9.7.2.5 this was not possible.

  • Grids are now consistent throughout Toad. Grids share a single popup menu. Here is a comparison of the Data Grids from Toad 9.7 to Toad 10:

  • The following right – click options from 9.7 have moved:

    1. Select Columns – now found at the top right corner of the grid:

    2. Import from Clipboard - now located in import table data screen. Right-click SB-Tables-Import Table Data (or from main menu)
    3. Excel style filtering- no need to toggle this option as its build right into the grid automatically:

    4. Multi-select – is no longer a right-click item - with few exceptions, grids are multi-select enabled. Row select enables you to select entire rows at the same time. If you turn it off, you can select blocks of cells within a grid.
    5. Refresh options/ Grid Options - Gone. There is an options button on the toolbar:

    6. Action Console - Gone. There is an action console button on the toolbar

    7. Set Sequence Field - This feature was replaced with an auto-increment via sequence and trigger. In prior versions of Toad, when you set up a sequence column, it would only work for the user that set it up. Now anyone can utilize the feature from the Schema Browser | Tables page, right-click and select Add | Trigger/Sequence Pair

    New options added for Toad 10:

    1. Single Record Viewer (right click) - Can be accessed here as well.
    2. Filter data:

    3. Toggle Navigator (Right Click)- allows the Navigator buttons viewed or hidden.
    4. Grids can be grouped by a column header by dragging the header into the Group By area at the top of the grid. This feature can be toggled on the right-click menu.

    5. In addition, some grids that had special functionality in the right-click menu now have an upper toolbar containing that functionality, as in the Rebuild Multiple Indexes grid.
