Logon Screen Change

[stmcook]

Hello,
I recently upgraded to version 9.0.6.1665 and the initial logon screen changed from a dialog box with free form fields for connection information to a tree of fixed and historical users. I know I can press other, but this is one more unnecessary step in a busy day.
Is there a way to revert this logon option back to the previous setup. I change users very often and do not save user info.
Thanks.

This is the Connection List (see chapter 16 in the User's Guide) that replaces the old Logon dialog. It is much more convenient if you define your connections (Tools > Define Connections), but if you do not do so and cancel the dialog every time, it will not be useful.

The Connection List logon dialog can be disabled by using the NoConnectionList command-line parameter. For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" NoConnectionList

You can also set this in the params.ini file in the PL/SQL Developer installation directory.

The Connection List in PL/SQL Developer can be docked or closed. If you subsequently select the "Save Layout" item from the Window menu, this will be the default layout.
