The documentation says that from a Command window we can use the command

plugin plsqldoc generate

to create a batch script to create/refersh our documentation.

this only seems to work if the object is a package. on a table I got the following (I took out my schema name):


SQL> plugin plsqldoc generate dept
Generating TABLE <schema name>.DEPT
Failed!

I have an update.

if I right click in the Obj Navigator and select Generate I am told:

plsqldev
could not generate documentation for DEPT

ORA-01012: not logged on
Process ID: xxxx
Session ID: xxx Serial Number: xxx
(Generate Table)

So I thought it might just be possible that I was inactive long enough so I did a Session / Logoff / All and logged back on.

I got the same error. According to the Window title I am connected, the Command Window status are agrees and I can issue DML in the Command window and it returns data.

I closed PLSD and restarted it. in Obj Nav I hi-lighted all the tables that start with 'A', right clicked, selected Generate and it is running along fine.
