Features I think can be handy

[ido]

Hi,

Great product, but there are a few features I kinda miss.

1) Database Tabs
For 1 project I usually have to connect to 2 or 3 databases at once. Would be nice of these can be Tabs within pl/sql developer instead of cluttering up the windows toolbar. Just like all modern web browsers have these days.

2) Have line/character number count
When editing a record, being on the text tab, line numbers would be a nice thing to have.

3) Keep edit data lock enabled
If I select a table and edit the data, I can edit the data. When I add eg a where clause to the statement the edit lock gets disabled. Why? This is frustrating, as I told pl/sql developer that I want to edit, but its stubborn and thinks I suddenly dont want to edit...

4) Unicode support
Sometimes I cant save a record, while I can save the record with Toad. I asked about this when it was still on v7, I got the message it would be fixed in v8 and had to to with unicode, but I still have the same problem with v8.

Thats it,

kind regards

Ido

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. I'm not quite clear on the 4th issue though. Can you elaborate?

I hope they will pass the criteria for enhancements

Anyway, 4th issue, here is the email I got from allroundautomations

Subject: ORA-01480 trailing null missing from STR bind value

Hallo,

Ik heb een problem met pl/sql developer (Version 8.0.0.1480) waarbij het in sql*Plus wel werkt.

De situatie: Ik heb een tabel in een Multi char database (4 bytes per character), in deze tabel een kolom met type varchar2(4000). Als ik via de code editor hier tekst in zet en het record probeer te saven geeft het me de foutmelding
