John Pocknell should provide the definitive answer. But it's my understanding (since I created the VM's for QA) that our last release was tested to install and work on Windows 8 and Server 2012. So compatible, tolerant, etc.

BUT - and this is a huge BUT - there is no Oracle client (SQL Net) version that supports Windows 8 or Server 2012, so even though our products might work - Oracle's products are not certified. And Oracle has said sometime mid 2013 before we see those.

Since the Oracle client is prereq for Toad - users cannot expect a totally complete support picture until Oracle steps up to the plate .....

Subject: [toad] Windows 8



Hi,

Will the next version of TOAD be certified with Windows 8?

I realise the current version is not certified but has anyone been using it successfully or aware of any problems?

Many thanks,

Kevin
