PLSQL 6.02 bug

[-IceTea-]

When i open pl/sql developer, after entering
the user/password and clicking 'OK', pl/sql developer just pops up an empty messagebox with no
text and in the caption is: "pl/sql developer 6.02", something like that. really weird.

This did not and does not happen with version 5.1.6...

are you aware of this?
is there a fix?

and another question, when using the explain plan tool (F5), does pl/sql developer open a new session for the explain plan window? because
i did a couple of alter sessions on optimizer values and i noticed that the explain plan did not change at all (altough sql navigator did show different explain plans), if it true that the explain plan window uses a different session, then I think it might be useful to have an option to open the explain plan window with the same session of its originating window, that way, alter session commands could be analyzed.

thanks,
Jonathan.

I'm not aware of any problems like this.

Maybe this is an environment problem. Can you go to Help > About, press the 'Info' button, press the 'Copy all pages' button on this info screen, and paste this text into an e-mail reply?

Yes, the Plan Window uses a different session than the SQL Window.

Hi,
this turned out to be a problem connected to the oracle client installed. the computer in question had 8 client, a 9 client and a 10g client all at the same time.

We removed all of them, deleted all registry entries etc. and then reinstalled client 8, and it worked.
