Connect as main

[gareth_moore]

Is it possible to use Connect as main in the connections window without changing all the existing windows? I use multiple connections a lot and occasionally I change the object browser to a different database without changing the connections in all the SQL windows I already have open. If I click on Connect as main, all my windows change their connection.

You can click the little push pin icon in the bottom bar of each open window before changing the main connection. Then those connections will stay "pinned" and won't follow the main connection.

This could be a pain if you have many windows open. In that case I usually just open a second instance of PL/SQL Developer.

(You may have to use "Multi session" mode in Preferences->Connection for this to work.)

Sorry I missed this reply. Thanks for this information, this has helped a lot especially with the option of pinning the window connections by default.

You may check "Pin window connections by default" in Preferences/connection/multiply connections.
