Testing window often hangs

[dheltzel]

We are experiencing a lot of problems when trying to debug code in the test window. This often results in the entire program freezing up before we can even step into the first line of code. Running the same code in a command window works fine, as well as running it from sqlplus. This has gotten so bad that we cannot really use the debugger anymore.

I can't find any trace files on the server. This is happening both in 10g and 11g.

You could try the following:

1. Increase the shared pool size.

The Oracle Debugger seems to have some stability issues when there is not enough free memory in the shared pool.

2. Disable the call stack.

Go to Tools > Preferences > Debugger and disable the "Update call stack after each step".
