I too have been fighting to enable the TOAD profiler button. There is a TOAD_PROFILER package that seems responsible for enabling the functionality. The source for the TOAD_PROFILER package can be obtained directly from TOAD. On my version I went to Tools -> Server Side Objects Wizard. I chose the last option on the form that opened (Create setup scripts without a database connection) because I do not have sys access of my own use. Anyway that utility will generate a DDL script (TOADProfiler.sql) that will include the needed grants and procedures to presumably enable the profiler button. I’m posting this to possibly help others who are not able to profile through TOAD but do already have the DBMS_PROFILER package available. If I find that I’ve mistated anything I’ll re-post…

You have first to install the DBMS_PROFILER package in the database

SYS.DBMS_PROFILER
/opt/oracle/product/920/rdbms/admin/profload.sql (unix)
D:\oracle\ora92\rdbms\admin\profload.sql (windows)

installation of DBMS_PROFILER
login directly on the server with telnet of ssh as Oracle dba, then with sqlplus “/ as sysdba”
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/profload.sql

SQL> CREATE USER profiler IDENTIFIED BY profiler DEFAULT TABLESPACE users QUOTA UNLIMITED ON users;
SQL> GRANT connect TO profiler;

SQL> CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM plsql_profiler_runs FOR profiler.plsql_profiler_runs;
SQL> CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM plsql_profiler_units FOR profiler.plsql_profiler_units;
SQL> CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM plsql_profiler_data FOR profiler.plsql_profiler_data;
SQL> CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM plsql_profiler_runnumber FOR profiler.plsql_profiler_runnumber;

SQL> CONNECT profiler/profiler

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/proftab.sql
SQL> GRANT SELECT ON plsql_profiler_runnumber TO PUBLIC;
SQL> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON plsql_profiler_data TO PUBLIC;
SQL> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON plsql_profiler_units TO PUBLIC;
SQL> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON plsql_profiler_runs TO PUBLIC;

then you can use the package

I have been working with the DBMS_PROFILER, and I can run it without problems,
but TOAD does not enable the PL/SQL Profiling option. (It is grayed out)

Do you have any idear on how to show the report from the DBMS_PROFILER without TOAD or
if you know what could be the problem with TOAD. (8.0) On Oracle 8.1.7.
