hello every one ,

instead of typing every time "for example :select * from "
do we have any shortcuts in TOAD so that we will get the statements that which we use most frequently.

i mean not only (select * from) there may be some other statements which we use more frequently .

BlackSwan, I have a feeling that the OP is maybe talking about a Toad equivalent to SQL Developer's 'Snippets'. And copy paste isn't much use if the code that you want to use isn't already on your screen (unless you keep a file of your common code and C&P from that...)

Isn't that a bit harsh?

A lot of IDE's provide shortcuts for the most commonly used expressions
(in netbeans for instance I save a lot of time by typing "sout <tab>" which is expanded to system.out.println()Wink

I'm not familiar with toad, but I can see where the question is coming from.

This is a TOAD question. And I am very sure that TOAD has options for creating your own shortcuts, it works like autofill. Assign SEL as "SELECT * FROM ". Google a bit or visit TOAD forum and get your answer.

At last i got the answer from google Smile
open TOAD

View->Toad Options.
Editor/behaviour
Click Code Templates button.

Click ADD button.

Set shortcut name = sel
Set Description = Anything you like.
Click OK.

In the middle pane of the main dialoge, enter the text:

select * from |

Note the pipe character, this is where the carat will be placed when you
execute this macro.

Click ok until you are back in the editor.

Type in sel and press CTRL+SPACE. Sel will be replaced by "select * from
" and the cursor is waiting for you at the end, to type in the
tablename.


thank u very much Lalit Kumar B sir and martin Smile

Is this a question? Well, doesn't seem to be. And what do you mean by the things which I have highlighted in Bold Italics.

No it doesn't. At least it shouldn't

This makes zero sense.

You seriously need to look at Oracle® Database Concepts

KimberlyDeborah, as this is an Oracle forum, how much do you know about Oracle? Try to rank your current knowledge from 0 (zero knowledge) to 10 (expert). Also, specify Oracle areas (SQL, Forms, Apex, Administration, ...) you are familiar with.
