Re: Toad debugger

There's two different compile dependencies functions, compile dependencies upward, and compile dependencies downward.

"Compile Dependencies", recompiles any procs that call your current proc. For example, if proc A calls proc B, you edit proc B and compile it, Oracle marks proc A as INVALID requiring a recompile. Click the "Compile Dependencies" button in the proc editor toolbar, and TOAD will go up the hierarchy, and recompile proc A, and any other procs, functions, packages, etc. that call proc A.

"Compile Dependencies with Debug" compiles procs that your proc calls, in order to build debug symbol tables so that when you step from proc B into proc C, you can watch variables, evaluate, etc. in proc C.

For further technical support for TOAD commercial, please contact Quest Software at support_at_quest.com.

Hope that helps!
