How can I save my Oracle Toad connections to move to a new PC?


Copy the %APPDATA%\Dell\Toad for Oracle\VERSION\User Files folder to your new PC.

Ie.

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Dell\Toad for Oracle\VERSION\User Files

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Dell\Toad for Oracle\VERSION\User Files

Beware: In older versions of Toad "Dell" in the path above used to be "Quest Software".


You have to save your tnsnames.ora files of your respective oracle installations. Also, I believe TOAD uses the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to locate the TNS_NAMES.ORA it is using.


On the Old machine:Menu> Session>New Connection

then Select all connections and Use the Export button(with a blue arrow pointing to Right Down - located at the top of the Pop up screen).

On the New machine:Menu> Session>New Connection

then Use the Import button(with a blue arrow pointing UP - located at the top of the Pop up screen).
