vcs not controlling db objects

[lieberlady]

I have installed the vcs plug-in with pl/sql developer v. 6.0.5. I am using visual source safe, thinking of switching to cvs. In the meantime, vcs doesn't seem to be locking the db code, even when I check "allow version control over db objects." For example, I save a procedure to a local drive and add it to VSS. The code on my screen is now locked because it's looking at the text file I just created. If I close that file, click the procedure in the object browser and select "edit," I am able to change code and recompile.
Have I missed something?
Also, is there a way for an administrator to choose the preferences for vcs so that individual developers cannot change the preferences?
Thanks.

Do you have the PL/SQl Dev preference "Allow editing of database source" under options unchecked?

The only checkbox I have is "allow version control over db objects," and that is checked. I tried clearing it, and there was no difference.

Oh, hang on - yes, I can read. Dev pref "allow editing" is checked. Sorry, I'm used to Toad. I'll try that - thanks. But do you know if there's a way for an admin to lock all the developers? (They are an unruly crowd.)

The preferences cannot be locked.
