Linux Support

[Randomized J]

I miss PLSQL Developer. I hate windows and moved over to linux a few years ago. SQL Developer does what I want. But, PLSQL Developer would be much better for what I do day to day.

When will there be a supported linux version.

 

[Marco Kalter]

Stay tuned... we'll have a new cross-platform (Linux, Mac, Windows) Oracle PL/SQL development product announcement soon.

But what about the plugins? Will there be some sort of conversion program?

 

[fabrice]

Good question, what about the plugins? What is the dev language?

 

[Marco Kalter]

There will initially not be any Plug-In support. It will be a completely new and different PL/SQL Development tool. A Plug-In API may be added at a later time.

That sounds perfect. I just tried to install it on my new Win11 VM. As you guess - not successful. Therefore a macOS Version would highly be appreciated.Can not wait for it!

 

[fabrice]

When this new product will be available? Do you have a delivery date?

 

[Marco Kalter]

We'll have a public alpha or beta version available this summer.

 

[fabrice]

Any news or available date for this new product?

 

[Marco Kalter]

We're close to releasing an alpha version shortly...

I have installed PLSQLDeveloper 15.0.4.2064 (64bit-trial) on a SUSE Linux 15.5 with Wine 8.0 (as Windows 7 emulation). You have to install the Oracle Instantclient for Windows on Wine too (unzip all in a folder of the drive C:, set the correct folder of oci.dll within the PLSQL settings). Also I have used in a Bash

# winetricks gdiplus
# winetricks allfonts

to install a specific library and the Microsoft core fonts on Wine before you can start PLSQLDev.
I don't have installed PLSQLDev plugins at the moment and I didn't use all functionalities, but a lot of things will work. On other DB tools in Linux (like DBeaver) I miss the MDI interface, so it is better to use the original PLSQLDev. :grin:

On Winecfg you could also disable the window decoration (uncheck on the Graphics tab the "allow window manager to decorate windows). This removes the Linux window borders around the PLSQLdev window (which overlay some icons at the top/left).

Best regards

It should be available by the end of this month.

Marco, can we have an update on this? It's October already...

 

[Marco Kalter]

Yes, we are doing some final optimizations before the alpha release. It should be available this month.

 

[Randomized J]

Hi Marco, Is there a mailing list or a notification that I can subscribe to that would notify me as soon as the alpha release will be available?

 

[Marco Kalter]

You will see a new Beta Forum here when it is available.

We have just released Plyxon Alpha 0.9.0 for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Feel free to give it a try and let us know what you think!
