Thanks Libor! Any ETA on the official 4.0 release?

RE: New to Toad Data Point
Don't forget to watch the series on Automation by Debbie Peabody. Toad automation in my opinion is by far Toad's most valuble feature, except for maybe Toad's support staff and community. You made a good purchase.

Alter SQL Server Table results in "No Changes Detected"
Hi,
My apologies if this has been posted. I searched under a couple of search phrases I thought I might find it, but could not find any matches.
I'm using TDP 3.8.0.575 with a SQL 2008R2 server. When I try to add a column and position it anywhere other than the last place, it says "-- No changes detected". If I use TDP 3.7 and prior, it generates a script which renames the table, creates a new one, imports the data from the old table and drops it.
Just curious if this is a known issue or not, or if it is just a feature that was removed on purpose?
Thanks!

RE: Data Point 3.8 numeric values retrieved from OBIEE have no decimals
Hello Mitch.Lear,
Thanks for your comment.
May I ask you if the values in the Excel table are really rounded, or there's only cell format set to display the values as rounded? Could you also try exporting the data for example into Comma Separated Values? Are the numeric values correct there?
I'd also suggest you to try defining some custom format on columns with numerical data:

Data Point 3.8 numeric values retrieved from OBIEE have no decimals
I've recently started using Data Point (ver. 3.8) to pull data from an Oracle Business Intelligence server into Excel spreadsheets. I use a very simple query and it works properly, with one exception: numeric data is rounded (or maybe truncated) to zero decimal places. When I run an identical query through the Oracle BI web interface, I get the decimal places; so, I know something is definitely wrong on the Toad side.
I've found a few forum threads from a few years ago stating a CR was submitted for this problem. Am I missing something, or is this still not resolved?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

RE: Job Manager - Automation Failure
Hi, this was happening to me. I don't think the automation feature liked what I named the .TAS file.
When it was Auto_Test 6.10.16.tas it would throw the error.
When I changed it to Auto_test.tas, the scheduling feature worked fine.

Job Manager - Automation Failure
We just upgraded from 3.2 to 3.3. Because of the change in Select to File, I had to rewrite a number of my scripts using Export Wizard which seemingly works OK. When I go to automate my scripts, however, I'm getting the same error on any machine I'm using. Upon hitting "schedule", I get a pop up stating "THE PARAMETER IS INCORRECT"
My scripts are working smoothly when just selecting RUN but the actual automation of the script is failing. I'm on Windows 7 and the jobs run directly from either my system or a Virtual Machine depending on the job. Any ideas?

RE: Data Point 3.8 numeric values retrieved from OBIEE have no decimals
The numbers are truly decimal-truncated (or -rounded) no matter the export format (.csv, .html, .xlsx). The data type for the field is REAL and I set the format to Fixed-Point. No luck there, either.

RE: Data Point 3.8 numeric values retrieved from OBIEE have no decimals
Thank you for the information provided.
We will try to reproduce the problem at our side and let you know about our findings.
In the meantime you might want to try the latest TDP Beta version and see if it fixes the problem.

Hello Mitch.Lear,
Then it looks like a bug. We'll try to reproduce the problem.
Could you test it in the latest beta (TDP 4.0)?

Thanks.

If you would like to open a support case I can help you there. You will need to supply your xlsm and automation files.

RE: ASE and Microsoft SQL
You want Toad Data Point (formerly Toad for Data Analysts). Connect to just about anything. If no native connection, then at least by ODBC. I am connected to a MUMPS database via an ODBC Cache connection (allows one to use SQL queries on MUMPS). You can also direct import from one connection to another, rather than extract a flat file and then import the flat file. Toad Data point also includes automation, so anything you do every Monday or any periodic basis, just create a job, schedule it and forget it. Been using Toad for years as a reporting tool, ETL tool, database tool but the best feature is the automation. I can call any program from a Toad job, pass a variable parameter to the called program and have the job resume when the called program completes. You are going to love this product. I should work in Sales for this company! Oh, and the support from Dell and the Toad community is the best.

ASE and Microsoft SQL
I am new to Toad. I have downloaded two different freeware versions to test connectivity to the databases that I connect to. I can connect to the Microsoft SQL databases through Toad for SQL and I could connect to the Sybase ASE databases through Toad for SAP. Is there Toad package that has the ability to connect to Microsoft SQL and ASE in the same software package? Any help here would be great.
Thanks,
Wade Shull

I have confirmed this is still an issue and entered QAT-8104 to fix. Unfortunately this will not make it into the TDP 4.0 release.

RE: Export row count
Hi, I was wondering if we think that the QAT-7302 would be handled in the 5.0 version? I haven't noticed it in the release notes of 5.0 beta at this point as well. I have some functionality needed for the rowcount variable similar to the select to file activity for the export wizard activity.
Thanks Chad King

Export row count
When you use "select to file" there is a row_count variable that you can use later. . If you use the Export Wizzard I can not find a way to access the row count. Is there a variable that contains the row count? Or a method to obtain the count?
