My wishlist for 6.0

[Ivan Bukovcan]

Hello

I would like to see these helpful features in PLSLQDEV 6.0

- resizable Windows List (so I can fit more windosw to it, without scrolling)
- SHIFT+click will close window in Windows List (Opera does it like this and I like it because it saves time
- When where is a transaction open, I can see the indication in Windows List, so I do not have to click thru all windows to see if there's red/green arrow on toolbar panel - It would save many time and DB locks..
- and Materialized views / Partitions / Subpartitions support of course..

Possible bugfixes:
- there seems to be a bug in REDO: it wont stop and goes to the end when I click on the REDO icon (in 5.1.3.704)
- in SQL Window 'Next SQL' feature blanks screen when pressed for last time

Many thanks

Ivan

I have added the shift-click suggestion to the list of enhancement requests. The Window List size and partitions are in.

The redo bug is fixed in the current 5.1.4 release. The Next SQL bug is by design though. You may want to enter a new statement after scrolling past the last one.

Hi Marco,

I did a quick search on the boards, but couldn't see if this was being added:

Will there be more syntax highlighting options available in the next release?

I.e. Perhaps 3 or 4 "custom" keyword types that could be individually coloured? (So I could add built-in Oracle functions to one colour group, our own functions/procedures to another, etc...)

Cheers,
Keith.

Hi Marco,

thanks for adding my suggestions.

But you ommited Open transaction indicator in Windows list.

When I have, say, 10 SQL windows open, that is 10 db sessions (in multi session mode) and to find out if there is a transaction waiting for commit/rollback in specific session I have to click on each window and look for commit/rollback button on toolbar.

It would be nice to see it right on the Windows list panel.

Regards,

Ivan

We did not have any plans for this, but it's a relatively easy enhancement, so I have added this to the list.

I missed that one. I have added this to the list of enhancement requests as well.
