Anoying Toad

Two anoying features of Toad. Use SQLPLUS or SQL Developer instead.

create table pa(p number constraint pa_pk primary key) 
partition by hash(p) 
partitions 2;

select partition_name from user_tab_partitions where table_name = 'PA';

SYS_P61
SYS_P62


Truncating a partition with Toad gives an error.
alter table pa truncate partition SYS_P61;

ORA-14006: invalid partition name



Modifying index visibility with Toad gives an error.

alter index pa_pk invisible;

ORA-14141: ALTER INDEX VISIBLE|INVISIBLE may not be combined with other operations

alter index pa_pk visible;

ORA-14141: ALTER INDEX VISIBLE|INVISIBLE may not be combined with other operations
Just get rid of the semi colon and you are able to use these commands with Toad.
alter index pa_pk visible
