PL/SQL Developer Sessions

[KevinFarris]

I don't have a copy of PL/SQL Developer - I'm strictly a DBA - but I've noticed that with some users, when they connect to Oracle database, PL/SQL Developer will actually open up two sessions. Is this controllable? Is there a setting that I can force PL/SQL Developer to a single session, or was this a performance enhancement?

Thanks,

this is controllable on the client end. there are three modes of operation, single connection, dual connection ( one for the app, one for everything else ) and multi connection ( one for the app, one per window ).

Talk to your users and you may reach a compromise. warning tho, they will not want to be restricted to a single connection, the app hangs when a large operation is running.
