Toad 'insert record' button disabled.

Answer 1

Do you mean the + button that displays at the top of the SQL results grid?

There is an "edit grid" button which you're supposed to click first to then enable changes to the data grid. Otherwise the results grid is read-only.

Answer 2

Is your TOAD installed Read-Only? The help files provide information about installing TOAD as a Read-Only application.

Answer 3

Uncheck Default to Read only query in Toad Option (View--Options- Data Grid --Data)
