Release Information

Toad® for IBM DB2® Version 4.0.1

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

Memory

512 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
Hard Disk Space

185 MB of disk space required to run Toad

If installing the Toad SQL Tuning for DB2 z/OS component, allocate an additional 45 MB.

If installing the Quest SQL Optimizer for DB2 LUW, refer to the Release Notes for that product for disk space requirements.

Operating System

Any of the following:

  • Microsoft® Windows® 2000

Note: The Automation feature requires the .NET Framework 3.0, which is not support on Windows 2000.

  • Windows XP Professional (32-bit only)
  • Windows 2003 (32-bit only)
  • Windows Vista (tested on 32-bit Ultimate edition with XP Graphics)

  • To use the Automation feature, .NET Framework 3.0 or later must be installed

Browser
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0

Note: Toad installs a DB2 9 client as part of the installation process. The DB2 9 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. You must upgrade to the DB2 8 client and restart the Toad installation to avoid losing functionality in some DB2 native tools.
