Today when setting up my laptop I needed to add toad free for a few days lasting projects. I don't like too much, oracle, but is a standard de facto in many companies.

Toad freeware is very light (little more than 10 megabyte), but the full oracle client is a disaster: too much time to install and to much diskspace just to connect to a db.

Now oracle has a "instant" version of their client (from oracle version 10, I think) which consists in a set of dll zipped without an installer.

There is a way to make the toad freeware works with this client. Pay attention do download the "instal client" not the "instanta client lite".

  1. install toad freeware
  2. unpack the instant clienti in c:\oracle
  3. change the path environement variable adding the "c:\oracle" path part
  4. run toad: it find your instant client
  5. to connect ti a database, int he database field write <servername>:1521/<sid>
  6. you're done
