Function in Version 7 vs Version 6

[MARC47MARC47]

It's relaly great that Version 7 have a lot of good change especially the Graph function. Now I can easily figure out the sales credit weekly.

By the way, There are some Good function in Version6 but dispear in Version 7.

1.In version 6 I can easily hide Browser and Template window by press a icon in toolbar, but in V7 only the the browser hide, the Template window still doesn't hide. Now I have press the Browser button and Template button to hide the Left window for enlarge the window.

2.In V6 Sql Window, I execute the sql by press F7, and the Sql window auto select the sql statement, and when I press F5 for explain, the explain window explain the selected sql,but in V7 the Sql Window explain whole sql in Sql Window, not the selected Sql. Now I have to reselect the Executed Sql by my self, and repress the F5 button again.

3.Like the second point, I always press PL/SQLBeautfier button after Press F7 in Sql Window, In V7 this function Auto beautify the whole sql in Sql window, not the sql I select.

Regarding 1. I noticed that also and I agree it would be nice to have one click maximize the work area.

I got around it by creating a short macro. CTL+ALT+B, CTL+ALT+C and then assigning it to F1. You could also assign it to the toolbar. This solution doesn't work very well if you have the browser and template windows tabbed though - it keeps a blank frame open.

Mike,

I'm with you about your request #1 for hiding the Template window if it's already embedded in the Browser window.

For your follow-on request, "it would be nice to have one click maximize the work area".

I find it pretty easy to double-click the titlebar for the window to get it to maximize. It's a Windows standard, if you didn't know.

All the best,

Thanks Stew.

I think I wasn't clear though. By maximize the work area, I meant to make the browser, template list, window list and all that disappear so the program window can take up more space. I have PL/SQL Developer maximized when it opens already.

Mike,

Thanks for explaining. Excellent suggestion, btw.

Also, I guess I wasn't clear, because I was thinking that your new SQL window within Developer wasn't starting maximized (as mine don't if I've closed the last maximized one). So I was saying double-click the title bar for that SQL window, not the one for Developer itself.

You're probably tired of doing this but I find creating keystrokes to open and close the other windows works well for me:

Browser                Ctrl-W
Templates              Ctrl-T
Code Contents          Ctrl-Shift-F
