Running utPLSQL Tests in SQL Developer

Introduction In November 2017 Jacek Gebal asked me if I could help to integrate utPLSQL into SQL Developer. In January 2018 we released the first MVP. Tests were executed in a new SQL Developer worksheet showing the result in the script output pane. This was easy to implement and it simplified the […]

Using DBMS_DEBUG in SQL Developer

Do you need to debug PL/SQL units in SQL Developer? You can’t get it to work because someone refuses to open TCP ports between your database and your client? No problem. You can still configure the good old DBMS_DEBUG in your SQL Developer. I know it is deprecated since Oracle Database 12c. […]

Simplify the Use of PL/Scope in SQL Developer

In this post, I showed how to do some code analysis with PL/Scope and how the views and packages of the plscope-utils might simplify this task. However, these views and packages are based on dba_* views and it is sometimes not that easy to get such privileges for an additional user in a non-personal database instance. […]

Get Ready for Oracle 12.2

The Oracle Database 12.2 grammar is now supported in the most current versions of PL/SQL Cop, PL/SQL Cop for SQL Developer, PL/SQL Cop for SonarQube and PL/SQL Analyzer.

Bitemp Remodeler v0.1.0 Released

I’ve been working on a flexible table API generator for Oracle Databases for several months. A TAPI generator doesn’t sound like a real innovation. But this one contains some features you probably have not seen before in the TAPI generator and hopefully will like it as much as I do. In this post, I will […]

PL/SQL Bulk Unwrap

How to Integrate Your PL/SQL Generators in SQL Developer

About three weeks ago Steven Feuerstein tweeted in his tip #501 a link to a generator for the WHEN clause in DML triggers on Oracle Live SQL. Back then I refactored the generator for oddgen – the Oracle community’s dictionary-driven code generator – and published the result on Oracle Live SQL as well. Some […]

PL/SQL Cop Meets oddgen

Until August 2015 it never occurred to me that one could use non-PL/SQL code within conditional compilation blocks. Back then we discussed various template engine options as the foundation for oddgen – the Oracle community’s dictionary-driven code generator. oddgen supports nowadays the in-database template engines FTLDB and tePLSQL. Both tools may access templates stored in PL/SQL packages using a […]

Update for PL/SQL Cop and PL/SQL Analyzer

Some people asked me to announce the availability of new versions of products on my website. I guess a blog entry and a Twitter announcement should do the job. Today I’ve released the following three updates: These products are always affected by a grammar change to SQL*Plus, SQL or PL/SQL. The goal is to […]

Introducing PL/SQL Unwrapper for SQL Developer

I’m using from time to time the free service Unwrap it! or Niels Teusink’s Python script unwrap.py to unwrap PL/SQL code. Recently I’ve been confronted more with wrapped code since a customer is about to migrate to a new banking platform which is using wrapped PL/SQL code extensively. While investigating migration errors we experienced that […]
