In this example I wanted to hide the first 12 digits of the credit card number (column KREDITKARTENID) and the entire information about the credit limit (KREDITWUERDIG) if the application (MODULE) is not Toad. This brand new feature of Oracle 12c made it into the new Toad version. And opening the Session Browser to wonder: there’s a new tab called “Redaction Policies”.

When connecting first with Toad 12 to Oracle 12c I encountered that there are no more error messages. As a beta tester I had the chance to work with that release already for approximately one year – and was able to use Toad 11.6 with it (with some minor error messages while connecting as a DBA). My main topic was of course checking if Toad is able to handle Oracle Database 12c (12.1.0.1). So if you are new to Toad use it to find the tools if you are an experiences Toad user use it to find additional information. This helps a lot finding useful tools like the various compare options but is able to scan your directories and even the entire internet for additional information. As I generally don’t like reading documents I tried myself and immediately found a new feature named “Jump”. When I first saw Toad 12 (which was the first one), I was wondering about the features. Is it by chance that within an interval of a few days both Oracle announced Oracle 12c and Dell Software announced Toad for Oracle v12?
