Automatically choosing a window type to open

[jov]

Hi

When I drag and drop a table's script (e.g. table_name.tab) and try to compile the script, I get the following error:
ORA-00911:invalid character

However, if I copy and paste the script in an SQL Window, it compiles okay.

I think dragging and dropping a table script into PL\SQL Developer, automatically opens a Program Window. Is there any way to force it to open an SQL Window when I drag and drop files with a *.tab extension?

Thanks.

Yes. Go to Tools > Preferences > Files / Extensions, and add .tab to the "Others" list for "SQL Scripts". This is a comma-separated list of secondary extensions for the SQL Window.

Thanks Marco. It works now.

Kind regards
