PL/SQL Developer hangs when connecting to a specific instance.

[kbodie]

I am having an issue where PL/SQL developer hangs when trying to connect to one specific Oracle instance. I am able to connect to many others instances just fine. I am also able to connect to the "problem" instance using SQL Plus.

I just upgraded to the latest version today to try and resolve another issue I was facing when connecting to the problem instance using 7.03. I kept getting this error:

pl/sql developer ora-06550 line 2 column 36 pls-00553 character set name is not recognized

I was led to believe that this was a UTF-8 issue and that 7.11 supports UTF-8.

Please let me know what other information I can send to help debug the issue.

can you modify the shortcut and add the noappinfo parameter? For example:

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

Let me know what happens.
