Package (not quite) read only.

[Wojtek]

Hello,
I opened package in view only mode. Everything seems to be ok, until I accidentally press F8.
Hmmm... package has been compiled
I think that that is bad idea.
If something is read only, so let it be till the end.
What U think?

regards
Wojtek

I can see that it could potentially cause problems compiling it when not expected. For me though - that's one of the things I like about PL/SQL Developer.

If I have a package in one test database that needs to be in another test database, I just view it in one database, switch the connection and compile. Being read only makes sure that I don't accidently change it.

So...if this is changed, maybe it could be a preference.

Thanks,

Mike

Actually there is a preference: "Allow compilation of read-only source files". It's located on the Options tab page.
