We are having noticeably slow connections to the database when using TOAD. From our PC, using SQL*Plus, the connection to the database is 1second. Using TOAD, the connection is 20-30 seconds and can be several minutes when we are having slow DB performance. Oracle 8.1.7.4 on MVS OS/390 v2.10 I know that TOAD does some processing when you make a connection. Is there any way to disable this processing ? Or configure it?
