Is there a comparison chart of Plyxon vs Oracle Developer Tools for VS Code? At first glance, they look very similar (except that the Oracle product is free). Thanks, Ara

I need to echo Mike's comments. What is the differentiator between Plyxon and PL/SQL Developer? So far, based on the screenshots, I don't see a difference. Even the look-and-feel is the same. At the moment, the landscape for Oracle development is frankly fragmented and frustrating. Oracle SQL...

This has been an issue for at least 3 releases and is still not fixed. it's a significant issue because viewing a table and then switching to the SQL generates the cleanest DDL (better than DBMS_METADATA). However, the partitioning clause has to be written by hand. This also affects comparisons...

I also am noticing sluggish performance in v15. It takes about 6 seconds on startup before the login dialog appears. It takes 4 seconds to bring up the Preferences dialog. And so on. My PC is older(ish) but still not a weakling (HP ZBook Studio G4, 64-bit, 4 cores, 32 GB RAM, solid-state drive).

Personally, I'm not worried about version control support. I save files/DDL to the filesysetm and use TortoiseGit to manage Git.

Another bug: When defining columns in the Edit Table window, PL/SQL Developer uses quotes to preserve the case of the column names. But the implementation is buggy. Here is a full test case: 1. Open the Edit window for table T. 2. Add a column named x_ABC. Click Apply. 3. View the DDL using...

There are some bugs in the new PL/SQL Developer: * The effect of the checkbox in View --> Single Document is reversed. When checked, the window tabs show up. * Menu items sometimes show disabled when they are actually clickable (and, actually, you are able to click on them). Example: The "new...

My group is working with Oracle E-Business Suite. There, the main schema (APPS) has over 180,000 objects. Trying to do anything with Export User Objects, Import User Objects, Compare User Objects, Compare Table Data, Export Tables is almost impossible because the first thing PL/SQL Developer...

That worked. I do wish there was a way to export all preferences. It is such a pain to reconfigure them all when you move from one computer to another. At least, if you use a custom preference directory, you can get the templates, beautifier rules, etc. Thanks, Ara

Is there a way to export connections and preferences from PL/SQL Developer. I just got a new computer and I have about 24 connections still on my old one. There was a post some time ago (2002) about exporting/importing the registry key but I'm not sure if that's still valid. Ara

I am developing in Oracle E-Business Suite. The APPS schema has over 18,000 objects. When I try to do a "Compare User Objects" on that schema, it takes about 2 hours to get the full list of objects--even if I only want to compare a few. Is it possible to add a dialog box to Compare User Objects...

I will second Paul's message. In my organization, we are in the process of transitioning from SQL Navigator to a less costly option. Issues that affect the basic functionality of a product, behavior on the part of the support team that indicates lack of support and possible internal issues...

As it turns out, even doing the kill is not always successful. I guess something does not get cleaned up in PL/SQL Developer, so you still have to kill the application. I don't have these issues when I use the 10g client home. Ara

You can also use the following tool: http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/ It is an SCC provider for Subversion, so it will show up in PL/SQL Developer if you have the VCS plugin. Ara

I would like to add a couple of my own: 1. Allow users to edit views the way you can edit tables (i.e., attach comments to columns, modify object privileges, etc.). Currently, the only way to do that is via direct SQL. That is pretty lame. 2. Modify the object browser to limit the number of...
