wishlist: Show wrapped source

[andyh]

When I try to view wrapped source code, all that is displayed /* source is wrapped */.

I'd like to be able to view the wrapped source as our source control strings are still visible even when wrapped.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

Hy,

i know it is a little silly question, but how can i wrap my Packages?

I know the following "Tool":
wrap80 iname= oname=

But after program running i had 2 files which are exactly the same?

 

[Marco Kalter]

The command is okay, but note that wrap80 is from an Oracle 8.0 client. You may need to use a newer version.

Hm,

we use the following Statement to make Packages:
-------
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE &PACKOWNER..P_KENALL AUTHID &AUTH. IS

...
BEGIN
...
END;
/
-------

So i get an error with wrap.exe:
PL/SQL Wrapper error: Compilation error(s) for:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE &PACKOWNER..P_KENALL

When i normally compile the Package throug SQL+ we have to define the Variables &PACKOWNER., &AUTH. with our DB-User, CURRENT_USER.

So may i first replace these Variables before i use it with wrap?

I am researching the wrapper technology for Oracle. Oracle is fairly new to me and so is the use of your tool. When I came upon this message I became very concerned. The company I work for develops software on the Oracle, SQL and DB2 platform which include views, functions and stored procedures. I am concerned that if this tool was to expose wrapped software it would defeat the purpose of wrapping it in the first place. I do not understand why you would want to put this on an enhancement list. I do not view this as a good thing ?

I'll let Marco speak for the enhancement list, but

if it were possible to unwrap wrapped source, wouldn't you like to know BEFORE someone else actually did it to your code?

 

[Marco Kalter]

I do not understand why you would want to put this on an enhancement list. I do not view this as a good thing ?

It was not requested to unwrap the code. The enhancement request is to view the actual wrapped code, which is mostly unreadable, except for the header (which may include comments).

Nobody can unwrap wrapped code. Like you say, this would defy the purpose.

Hi, Marco!
Also, please, create a possibility to save wrapped text into file.

Hello, I'm really interested by this option. Is it implemented yet?

Regards.

Not yet, but it's still on the to-do list.

Any idea if this is to be implemented?

I really need to export wrapped code and have to rely on another companies product to do this.

Maybe we can add this for 7.1.0.
