Hi Marco, I don't understand what you mean with "other tool windows". I had several applications up. I may have had other PL/SQL Developer up and running. Just when I reported this I had had my machine crash, and at the time I had 4 instances of PL/SQL Developer running. I only managed to...

Sorry, found this is duplicate. Please remove.

Hi, Unfortunately I've had a few PL/SQL Developer crashes recently. I've noticed that sometimes when trying to recover PL/SQL will find a recovery session, you select that you want to recover it, and then it opens completely blank (removing all the recovery files in the process. I just had this...

Hi, I upgraded to 16.0.4 and found that all the keyboard commands that are ingrained in my spine have stopped working. New SQL window "Alt-F N S", Open test "Alt-F O T", etc.. I suspect with the new option "Use default Alt shortcuts for Ribbon" completely screwed over us that still don't use...

Then I get an error PL/SQL Beautifier couldn't parse text, or similar. More importantly, I guess even if it would work then PL/SQL Developer wouldn't beautify the parts of the code that I actually want it to beautify...

Hi, The beautifier is great most of the time, but there are things it can't handle. For example, it sucks when generating large XML files directly from query. That is where I found that I could use the "--NoFormat Start" and "--NoFormat End" keywords to have a part of the SELECT ignored. But...

I have noticed the same thing, and while checking I found that the problem is actually worse. It seems that PL/SQL doesn't actually clear the bind variables between the calls to fetch 10 new lines, so first it sends the code to fetch 10 lines and gets the 10 lines back, then it sends the code...

Hi, I have lately started producing a lot of SQL statements that generate XML files directly, using such Oracle functions as XMLElement, XMLForest, XMLAgg, XMLAttribubtes, etc. Unfortunately the beautifier does not handle this at all well. It would be really nice if it could handle this...

I think I'm seeing same/similar issue. I generate CLOBs with XML data. Opened a result in Large Data Editor window. There is a little bit lag in opening the window, but then I can see the data, the size (about 4,5 MB in this case). One can see it is all loaded in the window. Can scroll down to...

Hi, Having just upgraded to a new machine running Windows 10 I thought this was the time to also upgrade to PL/SQL Dev v12. Unfortunately I ran into a bug fairly quickly. I often work from different locations, and keep my normal machine running on my work desk, and use remote desktop to...

Well, that revealed a lot of interesting things and raised even more questions... I know now why PL/SQL is so slow starting.. It is spending the first 40 seconds interrogating every connection I have made for some completely unknown reason. Would you mind NOT trying to "check" anything before I...

Hi, I am running the 64-bit version 11.0.6, and I've found that some things seem to take an unexplainable long time. Especially over slower links we all know, and maybe to some degree accept, that the "Code Assistant" is very slow, especially the first time you use it. It has to populate the...
