Aloha

Sometimes i find myself in need to pass an entire session to a colleague rather than to just give them the queries.

We use PL/SQL Developer 14 and it appears as if the save location for Worksets is in "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer 14\Worksets"

i can't find a means of changing the default save location, nor am i able to find a means to select a previously saved workset in order to open someone else's workset.

Is this something that is done with a newer version of PL/SQL developer?

Thank you

There is currently no option to share a workset. You can copy a workset to another user by copying the corresponding directory, but note that if there are any files opened within the workset, the exact same file must be accessible by the other user as well. In other words: no local files, but only files from network shares accessible by both users.

That is incredibly disappointing.

Shared workers should be something you guys do for the future. Or at least an option to open a work set as a file and save that file anywhere. It makes working in crisis bridges or 24/7 environments far better, particularly at shift change.


Tell me there are some creative ideas to make this work, eh? Single source of truth working environments dedicated to a particular task or database that can be provided to all without trying to maintain multiple copies of everything

Have you tried to use PL/SQL Developer Projects for this? Projects can be located anywhere, so it seems more suitable to this task.

Hi,

i tried it with the projects but after saving and closing the project all windows were closed and i couldnt get the windows back with reopening the project frown (project file has only 1kb).

An alternative path for the workset would be nice (just like with the recall statment).
Recently a windows backup had to be done and all changes made to the worksets were lost frown.
This could have been avoided with an alternativ path (like the preferences).
