Object Max Length indicator

[sakalk]

Hi,
Prior to Oracle 12c we had the max object length of 30, as I remember, when we write code in PLSQLD, when we exceed this length it used to red underline objects. This was quite useful as we did not have to count letters. But I guess when I connect to Oracle 12c now I don't get that anymore. Is there a way to get this back as a configurable parameter perhaps please?

The key issue we have is Oracle 12c and above is allowing long names but the bespoke applications built on the oracle wouldn't work with such long names. So Oracle allows us to compile these but will fail when we use the apps. If we could enforce this length indication, it will help us massively.

Thanks
Sanj

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. Maybe we can add an option for this in the upcoming 14.0 release.

Hi Marco,
Actually just now I noticed there is already a tick box in Preferences under Editor "mark identifiers longer than 30 characters".

Its ticked on mine and still its not working when connected to a 12.2 database but working fine on previous Oracle versions. So looks like oracle compatibility takes over the tick? So perhaps its a bug?

My PLSQLD Version 13.0.6.1911 (32 bit).

Thanks
