Toad for SQL Server 5.7 |
You can easily add syntax for another development tool such as C# to the SQL statement in the Editor to paste it into the development tool's code. You can also remove any syntax specific to the code development tool from the SQL statement so you can execute it in Toad. The modified syntax is saved to the clipboard, leaving the original statement unchanged.
The following pre-defined syntax templates are included with Toad:
C#
C++
Delphi
Java
Perl
Visual Basic

" movietitle.Title,"+ vbCrLf + _
" moviecategory.CategoryId,"+ vbCrLf + _
" movietitle.Year"+ vbCrLf + _
" FROM movies.movierental movierental"+ vbCrLf + _
" CROSS JOIN ( movies.movietitle movietitle"+ vbCrLf + _
" INNER JOIN"+ vbCrLf + _
" movies.moviecategory moviecategory"+ vbCrLf + _
" ON (movietitle.CategoryId = moviecategory.CategoryId))"+ vbCrLf + _
" INNER JOIN movies.moviecopy moviecopy"+ vbCrLf + _
" ON (moviecopy.MovieId = movietitle.MovieId)"+ vbCrLf + _
" WHERE (movietitle.Year BETWEEN '1990' AND '2000')"
Click 
on the Editor toolbar (ALT+D+R) to remove the Visual Basic code and copy
the statement to the clipboard.
Paste the statement into a new Editor in Toad:

FROM movies.movierental movierental
CROSS JOIN ( movies.movietitle movietitle
INNER JOIN
movies.moviecategory moviecategory
ON (movietitle.CategoryId = moviecategory.CategoryId))
INNER JOIN movies.moviecopy moviecopy
ON (moviecopy.MovieId = movietitle.MovieId)
