Release Information

Toad® for IBM DB2® Version 4.6

Client Requirements

Toad for DB2 client installation requires the following.

Note: If a DB2 for LUW 7 client is installed on the machine where you are installing Toad, you must upgrade the DB2 client to version 8 before installing to avoid losing functionality in some DB2 native tools.

Platform

1 GHz minimum

Hard Disk Space212 MB of disk space required to run Toad.

Allocate the following additional space as needed:

  • If installing the Toad SQL Tuning for DB2 z/OS component, allocate an additional 45 MB.
  • If installing Toad SQL Analysis for DB2 LUW, allocate an additional 47 MB.
  • If installing the Quest SQL Optimizer for DB2 LUW, refer to the Release Notes for that product for disk space requirements.
Memory512 MB of RAM minimum, 1 GB recommended

Note: The memory required may vary based on the following:

  • Applications that are running on your system when using Toad
  • Size and complexity of the database
  • Amount of database activity
  • Number of concurrent users accessing the database
Supported Operating SystemsAny of the following:
  • Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)
  • Windows XP Professional (32-bit)
  • Windows Vista (32-bit)
  • Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)

  • The .NET Framework Client Profile is not supported.
  • To run Toad, the .NET security policy must be set to unrestricted. See User Privilege Requirements for more information.
Additional RequirementsWeb Browser

Existing DB2 Client Support

Toad installs a DB2 for LUW 9.7 client as part of the installation process. The DB2 9.7 client can co-exist with an existing DB2 8 client; however, it is incompatible with a DB2 7 client. If a DB2 7 client is already installed on the system, the Toad installation stops and cannot complete. To avoid losing functionality in some DB2 native tools, first upgrade to the DB2 8 client; then restart the Toad installation.
