Thoughts on Raptor...

[dcurley]

I was wondering if Marco or anybody else here had any thoughts on Raptor both as a tool in itself and for what it might mean for third-party Oracle IDEs, especially PL/SQL Dev?

I played around with it a little bit, and have to say that it's a start, but even allowing for the fact that it's barely ready for public consuption, it's a long way from being a replacement for PL/SQL Dev. (And leaving aside that I'm pretty used to PL/SQL Dev and like the way I work with it....)

tried out raptor, too. i agree that raptor is in it's early stages, especially support for timestamp- and varray-columns is missing. but as i thought about switching my workstation to linux for several years now and the only reason i didn't was pldev, project raptor would be an alternative to me. i love pldev, but if raptor will have more features in the future i will to the switch. although i would prefer to have pldev ported to linux -)) marco, ever thought of switching pldev development to java ot qt?

We'll see how Raptor evolves. As you say, it still has a long way to go, and development of other tools such as PL/SQL Developer will not sit still either.
