Preferences and OCI settings

[maigrait]

Hi,

I've got 6.0.5 931 build of pl/sql developer. I'm trying to get it to detect different databases and apply different OCI.DLL settings.

I have oracle 8.1.7 and 10g client installed.

I've put in database names into the connections tab (with Preference Set) and it seems to understand these and load the preferences. BUT it ignore completely the oci and oracle home setting.

Its listed in the Preferences tab but it doesn't pick it up...

It always just picks up the default setting even though its specified.

I'm probably doing something wrong... Any ideas?

Cheers,

Chris.

The OCI and Oracle Home settings are obtained from the default preference set. They are already needed before you connect and therefore before the actual preference set is loaded.
