Team Coding is a cooperative source control feature. You can use Team Coding alone, or in conjunction with a third party version control system such as PVCS or VSS.

Team Coding works with the Editor to control access and development of functions, procedures, packages, triggers and types by directly accessing the code from the Team Coding Repository or VCS.

This will save you from having to manually check-out code into the file system then open the code from the file system into Toad’s Editor.

To use Team Coding

  1. Install Server Side Objects for Team Coding.

  2. Use the Users tab in the Schema Browser to grant Team Coding Roles to Users.

  3. Before using Team Coding features, the new features must be enabled in the Oracle instance by a user granted the Administrator role:

Note: Make sure that Toad Options|Editor|Execute/Compile|Toggle modified flag when compiling source loaded from database is checked before using Team Coding.

 

These three steps provide basic source control. If automatic check in/out are selected, Toad will prompt you to check items in and out when opening and closing them. In addition, you can also set up Code Control Groups and use a third party version control system.
