I'm in need of detailed instructions to make a clean connection with Toad Data Point to POSTGRESQL database instance.

RE: While Comparing Sqlserver:Datetime2 with Oracle:Timestamp, it displays Diff in Data Diff viewer in Toad Data Point 4.0
I think the problem is your data type. try it where the data type is timestamp in both places. If the data type is Date one of the two systems does not store miliseconds (I forget which one but I know I ran into this before). Hope that helps.

Or try typing in the values with 'around the value ', 'next value '. The trim or rtrim recomended above is a better idea.
RE: While Comparing Sqlserver:Datetime2 with Oracle:Timestamp, it displays Diff in Data Diff viewer in Toad Data Point 4.0
Jerry,
Do you use 32bit or 64bit Oracle client? What versionof SqlServer are you using? If you can provide table DDL for both tables and some sample data, we will investigate the issue at our side.
Thanks!
RE: While Comparing Sqlserver:Datetime2 with Oracle:Timestamp, it displays Diff in Data Diff viewer in Toad Data Point 4.0
Kiki,
I appreciate on your help . I tried to compare Oracle client 11g 64bit in Windows 7, TIMESTAMP (6) with SqlServer 2012, DATETIME2(6).
It works perfectly in TDP 3.6.
DDL defines as follows.
ANSWER_ID Integer
ANSWER_CAPTION varchar2(1000)
ORDER_ID Integer
EFFECTIVE_DATETIME Timestamp(6)
VS
ANSWER_ID int
ANSWER_CAPTION varchar(1000)
ORDER_ID int
EFFECTIVE_DATETIME Datetime2(6)
Thank you.
RE: Query builder where clause IN operator with trailing SPACES
We can reproduce the issue with char column, QAT-9410 is created.
RE: While Comparing Sqlserver:Datetime2 with Oracle:Timestamp, it displays Diff in Data Diff viewer in Toad Data Point 4.0
Jerry,
I created QAT-9411 to investigate the issue. In the mean time, please try using the following functions to convert the vaule to string then compare the result sets.
Oracle -- TO_CHAR (EFFECTIVE_DATETIME , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.ff6')
SQL Server -- FORMAT (EFFECTIVE_DATETIME , 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ffffff')
How do I see the _entire_ error message
I'm still new to TDP. How do I see the entire error message? Messages are too often truncated. Below is what I see. Right clicking and chosing 'Select All' and pasting to a text editor doesn't work, nor does 'Send to Editor' and 'Text Output'. Thanks in advance for the help.

FYI, This is what's creating the error. I figured out I have to pull the sample as a sub-query and it must have an alias. (Where in the world might this sort of thing be documented? I couldn't evem find sample in TD's online docs.)
This fails-- selectcount(*) as nrecs from WFPDMHM.V_HM_ACCT_BAP sample .25;
This works-- select count(*) from (select * from WFPDMHM.V_HM_ACCT_BAP sample .25) as A;
RE: Toad Data Point on Citrix
If you have a valid license and are current on support contract, Dell Support should help you or re-route you to Quest Software support, at least you can search the knowledge base on support website to find some clue on this issue
Without details, I can only tell you that license key is saved per user under C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local, does you citrix environment allow it persist from session to session or it wipe out every time?
If you have a support case number, forward it to us so we can look it up.
RE: TOAD Connecting to Sharepoint
What version of SharePoint do you have, check with your SharePoint admin to make sure the OData service is turned on.
RE: Toad Data Point on Citrix
Hi!
We have the same issue, only that we are running on Terminal Server.
Every time we start Toad Data Point we have to enter the license key.
Best regards

Hi Kiki,
I tried using the following functions. It works fine.
Oracle -- TO_CHAR (EFFECTIVE_DATETIME , 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:mi:ss.ff6')
SQL Server -- FORMAT (EFFECTIVE_DATETIME , 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ffffff')
Thank you for support.

RE: How do I see the _entire_ error message
I am not familiar with Teradata but if you automate the query (create a job to run it), you can set the error log location via the first step in automation and even set it to verbose which will give you all the detail in the log file. Automation is pretty easy to set up and run and in your case you don't even have to schedule it, just run it. Automation by the way is by far the best feature of Toad. Play with it and have fun. Here is a link to getting started with Toad:

The link at the bottom of the page will bring you to the Automation video.

RE: How do I see the _entire_ error message
Oh and one more link to Debie Peabody's blog on Toad Data Point Automation series. She is the master, queen of TDP, Automation goddess, etc. I think you get the point.
RE: How do I see the _entire_ error message
Thanks for the note Greg. I use Toad for one-off data exploration and query debugging so automation isn't a real good solution. That said, I could automate problem queries like this to see the full error log... it might be faster and less irritating than searching the web for an answer.
RE: How do I see the _entire_ error message
Hi John,
I cannot reproduce the issue. For me the following query
selectcount(*) as nrecs from quest_dev.address sample .25;
runs without error.
Could you provide more information? What is the version of TDP? What Teradata version do you use? What client do you use to connect to Teradata - Ado .Net provider or ODBC?
Regards
Aleksey
RE: How do I see the _entire_ error message
It doesn't surprise me that you can't reproduce the error... that's pretty much the way it goes.
The problem I need help with is that the error message was truncated.
I'm using Teradata 15.10 but have no idea as to what client I'm using other than it's not ODBC. Maybe whatever came with TD 15.10 or maybe with Toad?
Thanks for trying to help.

RE: JDBC
Our systems area is removing DB2 Connect as a cost reduction as TOAD is the only product that requires it because of ODBC, will need to utilize the direct connection to our zOS system which I'm told is only JDBC. What alternatives do I have?
JDBC
Can TDA make a connection to DB2 using JDBC instead of ODBC?
Thanks,
Mike
RE: How do I see the _entire_ error message
What version of Toad do you use? You will find it on Help | About dialog.
Could you check with the latest beta if the issue exists in that version?
Thanks
