Two problems with recent PL/SQL Developer

[vit]

Hi all,

First of all I would like to thank AllRound Automation people for the great product. They do really good job.

But happy users are rare guests of this forum and I also have some problems with recent versions of PL/SQL Developer.

1. PL/SQL Developer version 5.1 does not add slash (/) to the end of the view if the view is edited in the Program window (all previous versions did that).

2. PL/SQL Developer version 5.0.3 and 5.1 does not allow you to assign any action but Edit (the predefined one) for F4 button (e.g. Edit Data).

These two problems (especially the first one) prevents me from upgrading to version 5.1 and enjoyni new features.

Can anybody help me with them?

Thank in andvance,
Vit.

1. PL/SQL Developer version 5.1 does not add slash (/) to the end of the view if the view is edited in the Program window (all previous versions did that).

You can add a semi-colon. The Program Window was not designed to edit view definitions though. You can use the SQL Window for that.

2. PL/SQL Developer version 5.0.3 and 5.1 does not allow you to assign any action but Edit (the predefined one) for F4 button (e.g. Edit Data).

I am not able to reproduce this, and I can assign anything to F4 (including Edit Data). Perhaps I am missing something?

Hi Marco,

Thank you for a quick reply.

1. Thank you a lot for an advice to add semicolon after the view text. It works in SQL Window and in SQL*Plus. The only problem our corporate standards require to use slash after package and view text. It would be nice of you to tip developers to restore this functionality in future versions (if it does not contradict with something).

2. I was not clear enough. I can ASSIGN F4 to Edit Data action. The problem is the shortcut DOES NOT WORK after that ;-(

Thank you again.
Vit

F4 works for me. I'm not sure what could cause this. Is it just F4 that causes this problem? Can you let me know your Windows version?

FYI... I had the same problem with F4. I assigned F3 to query data and F4 to edit data, and the F4 would not work. I'm using Win2000Pro SP3.

Thanks,

Hi Marco,

I have Windows XP Professional now, but the same problem appeared with Windows 2000 Professional and Server with SP1 and SP2.

BTW, it exists in all computers in our company (about 15 - we have "unlimited" license on PL/SQL Developer).

Best wishes,
Vit

I tried this on Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional. No problem. I can't immediately imagine what could cause this...

I tried again and the F4 key works if my focus is within a SQL window but does not work if my focus is in the Object Browser. Note that Windows uses F4 as the shortcut key for "Display the Address bar list in My Computer or Windows Explorer.". In the Object Browser the key may be getting intercepted by Windows ???

 

[Marco Kalter]

Aha! I was indeed able to reproduce this in the Object Browser. We will fix this.

Hi Marco,

Thank you for support. I hope you will be able to fix it easily.

Also it would be very nice to return back previous behaviour with slash (/) after view text in Program Window - it was VERY convenient (of course, if it does not contradict with something).

Thank you again,
Vit
