RE: 11.6 Toad Repository

Or as yet another unhappy Cowboys fan his hands are just shaking uncontrollably due to yet another miserable finish to the season :)

Hmmm.... Maybe it wasn't intended to be a "freehand circle". You subconsciously drew a cloud. Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Subject: [toadbeta] 11.6 Toad Repository


Hello everyone,

Let me get two things out of the way.  First, Brad knows I use his database accounts all the time and he's fine with that.  Next, I've had a bit too much coffee to draw circles freehand.

Has anyone noticed the Public Toad Repository we introduced with Toad 11.6?  It is currently under its own special toolbar button on the Editor:

If you haven't seen it yet, give it a look when you get time. You'll need to create a secure sign-on the first time in.

The Repository uses an Amazon RDS database and lets you upload scripts for public consumption, download scripts from other users, rate them, comment on them and so forth.  We think it has potential but it has seen very limited use so far.  You guys are the ultimate gut-check when it comes to continuing to pursue technologies we think are valuable. So we don't want to keep skipping down the garden path if it doesn't have high value.  In Toad 12, due to be released this spring, the Repository will be able to be installed locally, so your company can have their own private share.

Also, the File Open/Save dialog will have integrated access to either local or Repository files, so there aren't separate buttons.
