Note: Show/Hide PL/SQL Debugger in the Toolbox from the Code Editor toolbar. |
All the tools and features for debugging stored programs can be found inside the PL/SQL Debugger window.
Use the debugger to perform the following functions:
Area | Requirement |
---|---|
Oracle server connection |
Debugging is functional only when you are connected to an Oracle server via a SQL*Net connection. If you are using a local database, such as Personal Oracle, use the loopback SQL*Net connection to perform interactive debugging. |
Oracle Permissions |
create session alter session |
Debug on/off |
To watch, evaluate, or modify variables of a stored program: Compile the program with debug information: Session Menu | Include Debug Info. |
Successful compile |
If the procedure fails to compile, it is displayed in red in DB Navigator. It cannot be debugged. |
Feature | Description |
---|---|
Locals tab |
Use the Locals tab to test the effect of different variable values in your procedure. Example Scenario: Your procedure performs a computation. Start the procedure, enter a starting value and watch how the procedure handles the result. If you want to see a "what if" computation, enter a new value for the variable in the Locals tab and repeat the procedure. Note:

REF CURSOR type variables |
When evaluating/watching a variable of REF CURSOR type, its value is displayed in the following format: flags:FFF, rowcount:RRR. RRR determines the number of records fetched so far by the examined cursor. FFF is a combination of cursor status flags: %ISOPEN %FOUND %NOTFOUND If the user enters the watched variable names as C1%NOTFOUND, C1%FOUND, C1%ISOPEN, C1%ROWCOUNT, the displayed value is the same as would result from watching the cursor itself. (C1 is the name of the cursor) |
Watches and Breakpoints |
You can set breakpoints and watches at any time before or during a debug session. You do not have to recompile your program after you set breakpoints or watches. Add/remove breakpoints by clicking in the gutter margin left of the code. For more information, see Edit, Compile And Execute. There is also an icon on the toolbar to toggle on/off breakpoints. For more information, see Code Editor PL/SQL. When execution of a procedure is paused at a breakpoint, you can evaluate or modify any scalar variable within procedure code. If you change the value of a variable, you can confirm the new value of the scalar variable by evaluating the variable again. Note:
