Compare Tool not very easy to use

[SaKa]

Hi,
I often want to compare oracle package code between databases, recently i tried to use PLSD Compare tool but didnot find it much helpful the way it is implemented.

All I need is just type the object name (Oracle Package) and compare it. At present when i select a user it hangs the PLSD for about 2-3 minutes while it populates the 1000s of objects in my schema. Then i have to scroll down to locate my Object visually (no search?). A clear waste of time especially i need to do this often.

At present what i have to do is to save the packages to files and to use Notepad++ to do diff on them. I wish the functionality to type in the object and do diff on PLSD would be really useful if made available in future versions.

Thanks

You can right-click in the Package source in the Program Window (or in the Object Browser in version 12.0) and use the compare function directly from the popup menu.
