I have been trying for some time to use a database specific set of preferences, in order to overcome the problems described in previous post "Memory corruption on Oracle 10g rel2":
http://www.allroundautomations.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=003763;p=1#000011
I have defined the "System default" set without specifying any connections, and another set of default preferences for development databases "DevBase" for connections to "*@utv*", as all of our development databases have an alias starting with "utv".
I find this a bit confusing, as it is not quite clear when selecting Tools|preferences which preference set is actually active. So, in order to see which set of preferences is active at any given time, I have set up different connection indicators. In the "System Default" a connection indicator for "*@utv*" is red, while in the "DevBase" set it is green.
If I connect to a development database immediately after starting a pl/SQL Developer session, I get a "green light". However, if I first connect to another database, and then switch the connection to a development database, the indicator is red!
In the "System default", editing of database source is not allowed. When the "red light" is on for a development database as described, I cannot edit database source there either.
So there seems to be a bug here.
With regards, Helene
