Running custom plugin in different session

[MartinF]

Hello,
I am working on building my own plugin and i would like to know if it possible using the API provide with PLSQL Dev. to execute a select statement on another schema/database than the current one running PLSQL developer.

I would like to do something similar to the functionality "Compare user object" where you can select the target database. So my plugin will be able to run a query in another database and compare the result with the current one.

Is it possible to do this actually?

Regards

It is possible, but you have to create the secondary session from within the Plug-In. There is no Plug-In function to create a secondary session.
