Feature Request Marked as Being in SQL Developer 3.0 Isn't

The Unit Test feature request titled "Unit Test Implementation Specific Startup/Teardown" has a Status that is "In Release 3.0", but what was added in version 3.0 was the ability to have multiple startups and teardowns per Test, not what this feature request was actually requesting, which was the ability to give each implementation of the Test its own specific Startup and Teardown (which would be in addition to the Test's Startup and Teardown).
Oracle: Please update this feature request's status accordingly, or if you need clarification of the feature request, please let me know.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry it was not recognized when you originally posted. I have logged an internal bug for this:
Bug 13578934 - FORUM: TRACE VIEWER ERRORS ON POST-11.1.0.6 DBS DUE TO NEW PLAN HASH VALUE ATTR
The bug is not a regression, but simply reflects a lack of necessary maintenance in the the trace viewer.

Unimplemented feature request marked as released

SQL Developer Exchange feature request for extended code folding capabilities is marked as "In release 1.1". I can find no indication that the feature as originally described - or the many worthwhile additions from the comments - exist in 1.1 or 1.2. (However, it would Feature Request "Navigator: Distinct icons for package objects".)

Fixed broken link

I have changed the setting to reviewed. The reason it was listed as in 1.1, is that there was improved code folding in 1.1
As mentioned in other threads, we are working on improving the SQL and PL/SQL parsing for a future release and once that's in place, the code insight, folding etc will be improved.
I can't comment on the other link you have as it does not appear to be working.

Plsql_optimize_level = 3 and native compilation in SQL Developer?

SQL Developer: Version 3.1.06 (Build MAIN-06.82)
Oracle: 11gR2
OS: Ubuntu 10.10
Whenever I compile a PL/SQL unit in SQL Developer (using 'Compile' button) it is compiled with the following settings:
PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL = 2
PLSQL_CODE_TYPE = 'INTERPRETED'
However, if I issue the following commands in an SQL Worksheet:
ALTER SESSION SET plsql_optimize_level = 3;
ALTER PACKAGE PACKAGE_NAME COMPILE PLSQL_CODE_TYPE = NATIVE;
the query SELECT PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL, PLSQL_CODE_TYPE FROM ALL_PLSQL_OBJECT_SETTINGS WHERE NAME = 'PACKAGE_NAME'; resullts in
PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL     PLSQL_CODE_TYPE
3     NATIVE
3     NATIVE
Is it possible to make SQL Developer to use these settings by default?
P.S. It seems that Tools > Preferences > Database > PL/SQL Compiler menu section is missing the options I need (Optimization level drop-down menu have numbers 0-2, but not 3). Are there any plans to support these features in the future releases?
Edited by: Ravshan Abbasov on Feb 6, 2012 6:28 AM

Hi Ravshan,
I thought a workaround would be to create a sql script like the following:
alter session set plsql_code_type=native;
alter session set plsql_optimize_level=3; then point to it in the setting for Tools|Preferences|Database|Filename for connection startup script. That doesn't work however, as the other preference setting for plsql_optimize_level overrides the session value of 3 during compilation from the UI.
According to Oracle documentation, level 3 was added for Oracle 11g. Prior to that, the same effect could be achieved by level 2 in conjunction with the INLINE pragma in the PL/SQL code.
You might want to make a feature request for this on the SQL Developer Exchange so the community can vote and comment.

Gary

And, of course, Compile for Debug does not work with the 'native' setting.

Profiler in SQL Developer not working

When I run the profiler in SQL developer , I get the following error.
"Directory exists; check if /tmp exists on file system, and oracle has permission to write there. "
This error sounds like an UNIX error but I am running SQL developer on Windows 7 (64) OS. Has anyone seen this or knows how to get around it.
Thanks so much..

Hi,
According to the SQL Developer 3.1.04.72 documentation, the "get" command (among others) is not supported:
Help|Table of Contents|SQL Developer Concepts and Usage|Using the SQL Worksheet|SQL*Plus Statement Supported and Not Supported...
so options are limited. If sqlplus is accessible and using it as an "external tool" won't conflict entirely with local policy, these links might interest you:
Re: sqlplus vs sqldeveloper
Easy Connect and sqldev.conn issues
Otherwise you may add a feature request for this on the SQL Developer and see if such an enhancement is a priority for the community.

Feature Request: Build Favourites Menu based on Directory Structure

Hi
SQL developer is really a very nice tool and even for DBAs. I would like to request a feature in this tool which would a good value to this tool and usability. Most of us have our own scripts which we keep on using to perform day to day activities, Can we have a feature which builds a menu based on the directory structure like one of the popular tools Benthic Software's "Golden" does? It would really be a very good feature to have.
I love sql developer tool already..
regards

Better support for file based development is being working on for our 1.1 release.

SQL Developer Enhancements

Is it possible to have :
a) collapsible blocks and functions like Toad for Oracle?
b) to format code and have flexibility in formatting, tabs, margins, keywords, indenting, parenthesis, parameters, declarations, capitals ... etc...
b) the ability to save format code settings to a file so mor ethan one copy of SQL Developer (developers) can use the same formatting?
c) To be able to navigate through a package - click on the name of a procedure and be able to go right to it?
Please let me know if these are already available as I just upgraded.... Many thanks...

user10912612 wrote:

yes. In any of the PL/SQL editors there are controls for this in the left hand margin
Not sure I understand - you mean the object browser tree on the left?
I meant collapsible in the right side (while editing the code, being able to collapse a BEGIN block or a Sub program but in the editing window like inToad for Oracle)
Is this possible?
Yes. If you open some PL/SQL in an editor, you will see [-] in the margin against collapsible elements.
b) to format code and have flexibility in formatting, tabs, margins, keywords, indenting, parenthesis, parameters, declarations, capitals ... etc...
yes Tools | Preferences | Database | SQL Formatter
This looks very basic just now - Can there be more added here?
First a visual example of how a format selection will change the code dynamically would be outstanding.
As for formatting:
It would be great to not have spaces and substitute tabs at the left side of each line.
Also, to be able to position INSERT and VALUE blocks as well as other Blocks
position parenthesis around sub program declarations along with IS, AS
format declarations like positioning IN and OUT and DEFUALT
Capitalize choices like Datatype
I don't think you have looked at this properly. There are a number of sub-pages with many options.
b) the ability to save format code settings to a file so mor ethan one copy of SQL Developer (developers) can use the same formatting?
No. This has been requested before. Goto the SQL Developer exchange and vote on it.
I went to the web site and did not see a vote choice so created a request.
How do I vote on it?
You can't vote on your own creations.
c) To be able to navigate through a package - click on the name of a procedure and be able to go right to it?
Yes and no. There is a decomposition of the package in the object browser which makes it fairly easy to find things. There is also an "open declaration" context menu item but that will open the package spec code rather than jumping to the definition in the current package body
The decomposition of the package merely lists the sub programs in the package.Actually it lists variables as well
Jumping to the spec code can be helpful but being able to jump to the Body code is much more preferred.
Can this be added?
I will add to the create feature list -

Help in SQL Developer

Is there any context-sensitive help in SQL Developer. I'm looking for a way to link SQL syntax with some sort of a Help function. Searching the SQL Reference pdf just doesn't cut it. For example, when I search the SQL Reference pdf for Round, I get 134 hits. I would look for a page or 2 on how to use Round, with examples, but accessible directly from SQL Developer.

No there isn't.
There's a rejected feature request for this at the Exchange (http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:39:947182819474243::NO::P39_ID:5662), so chances are very small it ever makes it in.
Nevertheless, you can still vote and add comments there; if there's enough weight on an item it will eventually make it for the TODO list.
Including the doc isn't necessary, but just linking to the correct page would save a lot of time. In the case of ROUND, on pressing F1 inside the code editor or worksheet, sqldev could link directly to the SQL reference (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions135.htm).
If the team doesn't want to put it in, maybe someone else does. It would make a nice extension... if you feel up for it?

SQL Developer Feature Request :: Tool Security for DBAs

TOAD has a feature that our DBAs like. It is called TOAD Security. In effect the tool looks at a table (on a per instance, per schema basis) to determine what menu options and features should be enabled/disabled. DBA's are provided with a GUI interface to manage the permissions, however once the table changes are noted, then the activity can be scripted for other schema/instances.
If it is not already in the plans, then it would be an excellent feature to add to SQL Developer. With something like this in place, we could defintely consider moving to SQL Developer as our tool of choice.

thats understandable. The expense of TOAD is small peanuts compared to the larger sums of monies being spent in IT, however, IMHO there is no sense spending it if a proper match can be found. I am just watching and waiting as the Oracle product continues to mature. Having the ability for tool to be controlled via an external security model, would be a plus.
To give an idea, DBA's basically took away abilities that were too easy to accidentally do but had bad results..
* Drop an object.... they prefer us to physically write the statement... no oops click the button accidentally. This applies to a test environment as well as production.
* Kill a Session..... again, test (not in production) we can kill a process thread, but they didn't want it to be so easy as a click of a button.
... I could go on... but you get the idea. At first they went overboard, and essentially turned our TOAD tool into an expensive Notepad clone. After working with them, the permissions were readjusted and we have been fine since then. The feature makes a good companion to the database level security for things that the Database Security setup does not cover.

Any Plan for JDeveloper to have feature requests like SQL Developer

Recently SQL Developer has come up with "Feature requests" link where users can request for feature requests or see the existing ones.
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:37:3434730358746967::NO:::
This sort of feature will be very useful in one place instead of using JDev Forum for feature requests.

Hi,
yes, we like the idea and we are looking into this.

SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

Im in the process of comparing TOAD to SQL Developer and noticed the following bugs/features in SQL Developer:
1. An error message is correctly displayed when a database password has expired, but there isnt a way to go back into the database and change the password for that account. Can this critical feature be added?
2. There is no option to connect as sysdba or sysoper.
3. In the New / Select Database Connection window, I get the following error when double clicking on an existing connection defined using a TNS Network Alias: Status: Failure no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path. Any ideas? Connection was initially defined using the Network Alias button. I can connect under the Connections window, but not in the New / Select Database Connection window. Any ideas?
4. When displaying data in a table, the filter is not user friendly. You need to enter column names and the correct SQL syntax. It also does not allow you to cut and paste in column names. It would be very helpful/useful if it was more user friendly (GUI based) such as how Sorting is done and/or how it is done in TOAD.
5. When viewing referential constraints on a child table, it shows you information on the parent, but not if the parent is a child to something else. If you were a parent, it would be nice to see all child and their childrens children. TOAD does a nice job showing parent and child tables via a tree structure.
6. Comparing metadata between schemas would also be a very nice feature.
Im not sure if this is the place to post this but thought I would start here. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

1: You can always right click and have it open an sql*plus window and that will prompt for the new password. But I do agree that support for this should be built in.
2: This is a developer tool.. Use OEM for the dba stuff. I think that the worst thing that could happen to SQL Dev is to try to become everything for everyone like TOAD tries to.
3: Search the forum. Other users ran into this and I believe there is a workaround.
4: I like the current filtering on tables. So much simpler than most tools. I do agree that maybe there should be an advanced button with a filter builder and agree that column names should be copyable but would cringe if the free-form field disappeared. How many other tools can you write an inline query into the table viewer? Great feature IMHO

Voting on SQL Developer Feature Requests

I've been reviewing the features requests and of the different statuses, should one still vote on those marked as Accepted? I'm assuming yes to give them more weight to get them looked at sooner? Are those marked Rejected NEVER looked at again? What's the difference between those marked Open and those marked Awaiting Community Votes? Aren't those 2 statuses the same thing?
Thanks for your help.

Evita,
Yes, you can still vote on Accepted. (You can even vote for "Scheduled for release...", because sometimes we need to move features from one release to the next)
Accepted means that it sounds feasible to do and we can do it, but "when" has not been established. Please add votes to help that decision.
Rejected Just that, we have no plans to do this. I don't revisit rejected on the Exchange.
(However, some features that have been rejected have been discussed on the forum and we've reconsidered. We have also changed "rejected" to "accepted" on previous occasions, but only based on discussions here. Some features rejected have very poor explanations as to the problem users are trying to solve)
Open We haven't read them or made any decision on them.
Awaiting Community Votes means just that. Someone has proposed a feature and no-one else seems to be interested.With the long list of features, we do need to prioritize and some features requested are obscure, so we want more feedback from the community. More votes and feedback from the community helps. We sometimes get 10 points from some folk and zero from others for the same feature.
Please note that except for the Open features, the others we have touched and added feedback.
Problems I have with the feature requests is lack of clarity in the request and more than one request described in a single request. The extra features get lost and others can't vote on them.
Sue

Re: SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

"no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path"... What should i do with it?
I get it on the simplest of operations: changing (in fact setting) the connection password for the existing connection (defined by TNS/Connect Identifier). Oh, yes, there're workarounds, particularly export-edit-import, but don't you find it a bit weird?
BTW, i do not find a Save button there either, won't it be just appropriate? (Not allways a connection one's setting up for is already available on the spot).
Environment : OS: RHEL4, SQL Developer version: 1.0.0.15.57 (at least that's what About says), java - just stright form Sun, 1.5.0_09_b01; this was one i told SQL Developer to use. The default java in the system is Red Hat 3.4.6-3, though, i haven't changed that - should i?
TIA,
Uldis

I have had this issue with the Connection window with the TNS Connection Identifier method, but it appears to be related in some way to the other Oracle installations you have. For me (I am on Win XP), the error went away after installing the Oracle 10g client with Discoverer 10g Administrator. It then came back when I needed to rebuild my computer and installed my Oracle clients (I have three for various different products) in a different order, but was fixed that time by reordering my Oracle Homes via the Universal Installer and making my 10g Client first (Oracle Universal Installer -> Installed Products -> Environment)
Alternatives are to switch back to the TNS Network Alias method to record the password (unfortunately, even when entering the connection as a Network Alias it is saved as a Connection Identifier) or to just use the Basic tab instead of the TNS tab.

SQL Developer Exchange: Feature Requests

I'm requesting a new feature for the Feature Requestor :-)
Would it be possible to show a creation date and last rated date on the Feature Requests report to help in tracking what's been changed?
(And note that the HTML Title on the Rating Page says "Rating Deatil" instead of "Detail".)

Thanks for the feedback, I'll note those requests. I thought I'd got all the typos!
