Toad Extension for Eclipse version 1.6.5 contains many enhancements. One of the most useful improvement is related to management of documents stored in BLOBs. Now it is possible to view documents - open them in Eclipse or associated external application, export the content to external file, import a document to the selected BLOB field or just set the value to null.

Let’s face it, as cool as our Mac’s are, they’re not cool enough to be top of mind for Oracle. (I think they need another serving of Apple Kool-Aid over there in Redwood Shores…) Anyway, getting things working on Mac OS X isn’t terribly difficult unless you’re still a little wet behind the ears. I’ve been a Mac fan and occasional user for years, but this was my first attempt at configuring it to connect to Oracle. Now that I’ve got it working, I’ll share what I’ve learned and hopefully save a few of you the trouble of stumbling around the interwebs in the dark…

If you're paying attention, you may have noticed that we just renamed the Toad Extension for Eclipse freeware product to a "Community Edition." Why did we do that? I'm glad you asked.

Input pattern offers you a way to use different format when adding new records to your database.Benefit: I can use European format for inserting records and US format for displaying records or generating HTML reports.

We've made some *significant* performance improvements in the latest release of Toad Extension for Eclipse!

By dnorwood (User) on 3/9/2011 2:43 PM
I’ve always thought that the open source community were somewhat masochistic, or at least borderline workaholics. It seems “like doing a lot of hard work for no pay” to me. Why do it at all? Don’t you have a life…?! (Sure, some are probably the proverbial "basement dwellers," I know!) This was an interesting snippet from an anthropological study conducted on the RedHat Fedora community between the Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 releases...

Are you a Java developer using Eclipse? If you're reading this, I'll assume you've at least heard about Toad... well, we're working on a version of Toad that runs within Eclipse! It's our hope that having Toad inside of the Eclipse framework will make things easier for those of you who may be constantly switching back and forth between Eclipse and Toad today. In this post, I want to give you a brief update on where we're at with the project.
