The memory required may vary based on the following:

  • Size and complexity of the database
  • Amount of database activity
  • Number of concurrent users accessing the database

Oracle Server

The following Oracle database servers are supported.

Oracle 18c

Oracle 12c

Oracle 11g

Oracle 10g

Oracle 9i

Oracle 8.1.7

It is recommended that your client version be of the same release (or later) as your database server. This is an Oracle recommendation to prevent performance issues.

Citrix/Terminal Server Support

Citrix products supported include:

  • Platform Level - MetaFrame XPa 1.0 Server for Windows
  • Feature Release - MetaFrame XP 1.0, Feature Release 1,2 and 3.

For installation notes on installing SQL Navigator in a Citrix environment, refer to Getting Started | Installation.

Supported Version Control Systems

You can use a version control system (VCS) in conjunction with Team Coding to control files and database objects. SQL Navigator provides direct support to specific third-party version control systems and it also provides SCC support to connect to additional version control systems. You must have Team Coding installed to work with a VCS through SQL Navigator.

Important: Quest Software is unable to provide support for source control issues caused by the version control system, including the version control system's support for the Microsoft SCC API. If you have problems connecting to SQL Navigator through SCC, contact the version control system's support.

Direct Supported

Version Control System Version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS)*

CVS 1.11.9 and later

CVSNT 2.08 and later

Git   *

A git client for Windows must be installed.

IBM Rational ClearCase      *

Version 7.1 for Windows.

ClearTool command line is required.

Note: You must set up a working client view, mapped to the Project VOB on the client computer, before using it in SQL Navigator.

Perforce           *

2010.2 (command-line client)

Note: The Perforce client must match your operating system. For example, if you are running Windows 7 64-bit, then you must use the 64-bit Perforce client.

Serena PVCS         *

5.2 and later

Note: PVCS 6.6.1 and 6.8.0 are specifically not supported with Team Coding.

Serena PVCS Version Manager:

  • PVCS is supported with Team Coding for both 32-bit and 64-bit SQL Navigator.
  • It has been tested with Serena PVCS Version Manager 8.5/ 8.4, and replaces existing Merant PVCS interfaces.
  • PVCS Version manager Command Line Interface (CLI) is supported.
  • PVCS Command Line option must be included when installing PVCS

Apache Subversion (SVN)*

1.6.5 and later

Microsoft Team Foundation Server

2005 through 2013

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe

5.0, 6.0, and 2005 (8.0)

*These version control systems connect using a command-line client.

 

SCC Support

In addition to providing direct support to the version control systems, SQL Navigator supports additional version control systems through the Microsoft SCC API. You should be able to connect to any version control system that uses SCC.

To connect to a version control system using SCC, you must install the system's SCC-compliant client. See the system's documentation for instructions on how to install their SCC client.

Note: It is strongly recommended you use the native APIs for SourceSafe and PVCS when using Team Coding (instead of the SCC integration).

Most version control systems that integrate with SQL Navigator through the SCC API ignore the "Force revision" flag and the "Create a new revision for existing objects" option when exporting.
