Is there any way to specify optional connection parameters?

[Aggieangler]

I am running PL/SQL Developer version 10.0.5.1710. Is there any way to specify optional connection parameters for the Oracle connection I am making for the session?

We have some tuning parameters within the connection itself that we would like to assign. I can make these in other IDEs, such as Squirrel SQL, from within the IDE.

Is there any place to make these changes concerning the connection that PL/SQL developer uses to connect to Oracle? Maybe in a settings file somewhere, if not in the IDE itself?

Thanks,
Jeff

It is currently not possible to define connection-specific options or initialization. This is on the list of enhancement requests though.

At the moment you can only define a global initialization script for all connections through the AfterConnect.sql script.

Thanks, Marco.

I will see if I can get by with using the file listed above for now. I don't think it will impact me to apply the same settings to all connections.
