A dirty method that can be used from any client is to add "+EXPLAIN PLAN+" to the SQL - and instead of asking Oracle to execute the SQL, request it to parse it and generate an execution plan for you. Again, a successful execution plan result means a successful parse - and again, for that specific session environment only.
Why is session environment important? There are NLS setting that can make an explicit string to date conversion of a literal work in one session and fail in another. The current scope of the session could point to a different schema. Etc.
So even though you may get a successful parse, it could be pretty meaningless as when it is executed the environment is different.
Which then begs the question why do you not parse it once up front, and then used the code in its "+parsed+" format? This is what stored procedure code does for you. And why it is a better option than to store the source code externally, outside Oracle, on another system.
There are also a host of other issues to consider such as security, maintenance, access control and so on, that makes stored code a significantly superior option all around than storing SQL and PL/SQL code in some external script somewhere.

Suggestions about the best tool for quality check for an ADF application

Hi All,
I need a few suggestions about the best tool for quality check in our ADF applicaiton.
ours is a small size WebCenter Portal application which neither uses any task flows nor consumes any portlets.
It has many jspx pages that use ADF components like table etc, consume web services using web service clients, and has some java classes.
We have come across below option to implement the code quality tools.
1. Jdeveloper inbuilt Staus option in View tab
2. PMD extension for Jdeveloper
3. Red Samurai
Few more suggestions or best practices would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Usha

You can use JAudit as well as mentioned in the blog.

Extended Program Check Warning For Syntax Check

Warning:

In "SELECT SINGLE...", the where condition for the key field "LGTYP" does not test for equality .

Hi Raghu,
When you are using SELECT SINGLE, it is always better to use EQ in the condition than IN.
Instead of using select-options S_LGTYP, declare a parameter: P_LGTYP and if possible re-write the select query as below:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T301 into lv_variable
WHERE lgtyp EQ P_LGTYP .

Is there any tools or supported tools for codes check in/out?

When a project is in a large scale, we usually will divide the system into several modules. Each one responsible for a module. Under such situation, when a programmer tries to modify his/her module code, the problem seems to have less impact. However, in case of development involving common files, I would like to have better control about program update to avoid the conflict of program versions (Just like the Visual SourceSafe supported by Visual Basic) Is there any tool like that?
Thanks for any advise!

Hi,
JDeveloper supports three SCM systems out of the box which provide this kind of functionality:
o Oracle Software Configuration Manager (SCM) is Oracle's own source control system. It's built on the Oracle database so is highly scalable and performs well. It also has a very high level of integration into JDeveloper and has been supported in the product since JDeveloper 3.2. More information here: http://otn.oracle.com/products/repository/content.html
o CVS, probably one of the most commonly used SCM systems around because it's free, open source and very easy to use. There's a very high level of integration for CVS in the 9.0.3 version of JDeveloper. CVS doesn't scale very well to large teams, however. More information: http://www.cvshome.org.
o ClearCase, a popular source control system from Rational Software.
We don't currently support Visual SourceSafe, although we're investigating the best way to provide this in the near future.
Thanks,
Brian

SQL Developer 1.1.0.21: Issues with Data Grid and SQL syntax checking

In this new release of SQL Dev, when I execute a SQL in the SQL Worksheet and click in the Data Grid in the Results tab and try to navigate within a record using arrow keys, the grid cell enters into edit mode by default and so I cannot use the Left or Right arrow keys to navigate the grid. I am forced to use tab key to navigate. This is counter intuitive in my opinion.
Is there any option to change this behavior?
Another issue that I have come across is with SQL syntax checking. In some cases, when I press F9 to execute a SQL, it shows the SQL as executed i.e. shows something like 0.0134 seconds in the toolbar and no results displayed. In reality, the SQL had some syntax error which were NOT reported. This can be frustrating since now I have to fall back to SQL*Plus or TOAD just for syntax check.
I like the fact that SQLDev highlights the current SQL but it would be more useful if it just indicated the first line of the current sql instead of highlighting the whole sql.

I am forced to use tab key to navigate. This is counter intuitive in my opinion."
In the "Results" tab, Click Ctrl & Tab keys (at the same time) or with mouse click on any cell other than the first column (a sequence or rownum), you will be able to navigate using the arrow keys.

The 0.0134 seconds could be the result of the most recently executed successful statement. Check the Script Output tab for errors. Use F5 (Run Script option) instead of F9.
"I like the fact that SQLDev highlights the current SQL but it would be more useful if it just indicated the first line of the current sql instead of highlighting the whole sql."
On the SQL statement (or code), Right Click -> Format SQL (or press Ctrl & B), proper formatting would help.
I use version 1.0.0.15.57 and seems to be working allright.

Could you please suggest any solution

Your code looks wrong. You don't use CREATE with an exception class inside the CATCH. It should look something like this:
DATA fault TYPE REF TO cx_ai_system_fault .
TRY...
CATCH cx_ai_system_fault INTO fault.
WRITE :/ fault->errortext.
ENDTRY.

Syntax Check for *.java files

Hello erveryone,
I'm wondering if anybody has an advice how to enable (if possible) syntax check in JDeveloper 10.1.2.
For example:
public String toString() {
String result = "test";
The missing return statement is not shown in the editor. It's only shown by the compiler.
Thanks in advance
Alex

Thanks for your reply,
I checked out the links you mentioned, but I think the informations about the code editor and the code assist are not very detailed.
I checked out the tool you mentioned above (PMD) and it was quite fine unsing it for one class. But I tried to check about 300 classes at a time and it hangs after a few minutes.
So I think it's a little improvement, but I will still look for a tool compareable to eclipse.

A year or so ago I had turned on a toolbar that sat at the top with the other toolbar, and had many tools for development and checking of websites. You could turn Java on/off, javascript on/off, turn on source view, and many other things. Now I cant find that toolbar. All that I can find now turns on a panel in the lower half of the window that probably does all the same stuff, but it takes up much more room. Where did that toolbar go? or was it an add-on or plug-in?

It sounds like you may be referring to the Web Developer add-on.

Syntax check for tables and function modules

Hi,
I am writing a program that perform syntax check on object such as executable programs , function modules and tables.
Syntax check works fine for programs, but not for tables.
How can I perform syntax check on my tables or structures?
I get my data from the table TADIR. But I don't get my function modules from there. What is the table for this.
Thanks 4 ur replies.
Parvez

hi
good
generally in sap while creating a table or structure we get the error and we solved them,but like reports during runtime it is not possible to check the syntax of a table or structure.
thanks

Syntax check for a software component

Hi all,
is there a way to run a syntax check for all objects of a software component?
Means triggering the check at software component level.
Thanks and regards!
Kerstin

Hi Kerstin
I think basis guy should know this, it`s on software component level.
i know a tcode 'SGEN', but this is used to define a background job then compiling the software component. I`m not sure the background job log whether have this kind of error message if there are SYNTAX error.

How to Disable Syntax Checker for DDL Generation

Would like to include shell script commands before a create table statement. Modified the .xdb but PowerDesigner does not recognize this code as it is not native to the database. Is there a way to disable the syntax check so that the create table script can include these statements rather than a number of errors? Running v15.2 of PowerDesigner. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hello. Yes. To be more specific, want to be able to run the create table DDL for Teradata from BTEQ. I added the following statements to a customized version of the Terada .xdb for the table BeforeCreate:
.logon ${TD_SERVER}/${TD_USERNAME},${TD_PASSWORD}
select 1
from dbc.tables
where DatabaseName = [%QUALIFIER%]
and TableName = '%TABLE%'
.if errorcode > 0 then .goto error
.if activitycount <> 1 then .goto create_tbl
drop table %TABLE%;
.if errorcode > 0 then .goto error
.label create_tbl
The DDL shows up with syntax errors as follows. So clearly, there is something that is attempting to validate the code:
3 error(s), 0 warning(s)
(1) (Table "DATE_DIM"):
   [syntax error] unknown macro: logon ${TD_SERVER}/${TD_USERNAME},${TD_PASSWORD}
(8) (Table "DATE_DIM"):
   [syntax error] condition parsing error
(16) (Table "DATE_DIM"):
   [syntax error] expecting .endif
