Add debug information

[thillson]

In trying to use the debugger under 5.1 all of my variables in the watch list say "No debug information." I found the right-click to "Add debug information", but what does that do? Does it modify the existing package or procedure code in any way? I just need to understand how this works. I couldn't find any reference in the HTML manuals.

Thanks,
Tom Hillson

What the "Add debug information" function does is this:

alter compile debug;

If you select a package or a type, this will be done for both the specification and the body.

This does not modify your PL/SQL code, it merely adds symbol information that is used by the Oracle Debug system.
