Automatic connect on startup

[joshic75]

Hi,

Two questions:

1. I work 90% of the time with a single database. So every time I start PLSQL developer, I would like it to connect to that database by default. When started, PSD should not show me the 'Log on' window, but directly connect to a preconfigured database.

Is there any way to do this?

2. Can I open multiple connections at the same time in PSD? When I open another connection, the first one seems to close.

Thanks,
CJ

Yes, you can use the userid=username/password@database parameter. For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" userid=scott/tiger@chicago

No, you would have to open multiple PL/SQL Developer instances. This is added for the upcoming 9.0 release though.
