Figure 42. Disconnect
The connection to the VM instance in the Chrome RDS gets disconnected, as shown in Figure 43.
Figure 43. Disconnected Connection
We started by creating a VM instance for SQL Server based on Windows server on Google Cloud Platform and connecting to the VM instance with Chrome RDS. Subsequently we installed Toad for SQL Server 6.8 on the Windows Server and connected to the SQL Server instance running on the Windows server with Toad for SQL Server. We discussed different features of Toad for SQL Server, such as choosing a database, opening and arranging Views, creating a database table, adding table data, exploring database objects, querying table, dropping table, disconnecting and connecting a connection, creating a new connection, and dropping a connection. We also discussed stopping and deleting a VM instance, and closing the Chrome RDS connection. Toad for SQL Server is a client for SQL Server and offers several other features in addition to those explored in these articles.
Toad in the Cloud
From here, you can do a variety of things with the Oracle12 Pluggable Database. Toad is an excellent tool to use to create a pluggable database, move a pluggable database to the Oracle Cloud, and to manage your Oracle based application.
Toad Database Browser
You can now use the Toad Database Browser to view and manage the new cloud instance. This example shows the Toad Database Browser connected to a local Oracle12 container database.
The information I’ve been working with walks you through creating a clone PDB database and dropping it (but saving database files). You can then use Toad’s FTP abilities to move these database files to the Oracle Cloud.
Toad Database Browser connected to Oracle Cloud
Create from XML File
Once you get the files on the Cloud environment, connect to that instance using your new connect string in Toad and using the Database Browser again, create a PDB using ‘Create from XML Files”.
Create Pluggable Database Final Setup
Oracle will do a bunch of checks, even suggest and insert tnsnames entries, database browser setup, and even start up the new PDB.
There isn’t any reason you couldn’t just connect to the cloud instance now and do a ‘Create from Seed’.
Toad Data Pump Export
You can now use Toad’s Import/Export features to export an entire schema with data from your host database and move the export file (using Toad’s FTP again) to the Oracle Cloud connection and again using Toad to import the schema tables/indexes and data.
You are ready to roll with your application now.
