Lower case column names

[Petros Amiridis]

Hi,

If I create a table with lower case column names like "Description", PL/SQL Developer does not handle this correctly in Edit Data window and other places too. For example, try creating a "Product" table, and then go right click and Drop it through the Browser... it does not work.

It seems to me, that PL/SQL Developer tries to reference PRODUCT and not "Product".

Is there a preference I can tweak, or is this a problem? If it is a problem, could you fix it please?

I didn't need this feature from Oracle, but now that I am using a tool that automatically creates my schema and uses quotes around column and table names, I really need PL/SQL Developer to able to handle this situation.

Thank you,

This is indeed a known restriction with mixed case column names. It is on out to-do list.

Hi,

Any news regarding my request? I noticed this problem has not been resolved in the latest release.

I am sure you are working hard on more critical problems so I understand why you might not choose to address the problem.

I would be happy if you could give me an estimate: Are you going to address the problem in a minor release or in the next major release?

Thank you,

Petros

It's not a trivial change. It will be addressed in an upcoming 7.0.x patch release though.

Yes I imagine it is not a trivial change. Thank you for scheduling to address it.
