Break doesn't work properly on debugger

[Thurman]

In an Oracle 9.2 database, when I use Break to stop execution of a long-running job, the debugger often hangs and I have to cancel PL/SQL Developer from Task Manager.

The CPU utilization on my PC is at 100% before I cancel the debugger.

I am using Win 2000 Pro & 5.0.3.527 of the tool.

Is this an Oracle 9.2 issue or a possible PL/SQL Developer bug?

Is the Oracle9.2 database running on the same Windows 2000 PC, or is it on a server?

The Oracle database runs on a Sun Solaris server and my laptop runs Windows 2000 SP2.

Okay, in that case can you modify your PL/SQL Developer shortcut and add the "debug" command line parameter:

c:\program files\plsql developer\plsqldev.exe debug

Retry the debug operation, and when it hangs, send the debug.txt file in the PL/SQL Developer directory to support@allroundautomations.com.

I'll do that and get back to you ASAP.

I changed my shortcut as follows:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\PLSQLDev.exe" debug

I ran the debugger and it hung, but I couldn't find the debug file. There is no file called debug.txt on my C:\ drive and no .txt file in the PLSQL Developer directory that contains debug info.

What should I do next?

Can I e-mail you directly or do you want me to continue to post on this bulletin board?

I will contact you by e-mail for quicker turn-around times.
