New Toad Extension Project

Projects allows you to store multiple files in a logical group. You can store your SQL files, DDL commands for tables, stored procedures and other objects creations and take advantage of Toad Extensions for Eclipse features as well as standard Eclipse features (version manager, local history, comparison etc.)

How to create a new Toad Extension Project

Click File | New | Project and select Toad Extension Project.

Specify name for your project.

Change Toad Extension Perspective

When you create a new project, it is recommended to activate the Project Explorer View.

Click Window | Show View | Other and choose Project Explorer from section General.

Project Explorer View opens and you can dock it next to the Connection View, for example.

Now you can start adding files to your project. To add a database object, just find it in the Schema Browser and then drag and drop the object into your project (the object code is imported). To add a file, drag and drop it from a folder or use copy/paste. You can add SQL files to your project, but also other files, for example XML files that can be nicely edited in Eclipse XML editor.

Note: We strongly recommend you to add (drag and drop) new objects in the sql folder of your project (for more information on sql folder, see Toad Extension Nature).
