Workaround: Users who have Internet Explorer 9 installed can open Help from outside of SQL Navigator. |
N/A |

Oracle Client |
Oracle Client or Instant Client 12c Oracle Client or Instant Client 11.2 Oracle Client or Instant Client 10.2 Oracle Client 9.2 You must use the 32-bit version of SQL Navigator with the 32-bit Oracle client, and the 64-bit version of SQL Navigator with the 64-bit Oracle client. |
Oracle Server |
The following Oracle database servers are supported. 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:
For installation notes on installing SQL Navigator in a Citrix environment, refer to Getting Started | Installation. |
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.
| ||

| ||
Serena PVCS * |
5.2 and later
Serena PVCS Version Manager:
| ||
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. |
