Watched Variables - Value Field Too Small

Member³
The Value field in the watched variables view during debugging a testscript is too small.

I have a script, that builds up an SQL string for a CREATE TABLE command, which easily exceeds 1000 characters. The Value field (and even the assigned Text Editor) is only capable of displaying 1000 characters. In the given case 989 characters where the largest amount of characters explicitly shown. Afterwards (I guess something above 1000 characters) just shows "(Long Value)". The watched varchar2 variable has a maximum length of 32000 characters.

PL/SQL Developer should cope with a common variable length, at least in the Text Editor.

Unfortunately the Oracle Debug API (DBMS_DEBUG) limits the size of the variable values. In the next PL/SQL Developer version we will add support for DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP, which does not have this limitation.
