Can the SQL Editor Window be automatically opened upon startup?
The feature to have SQL Editor (auto) open at SQL Navigator startup is not available at this time. This issue has been added to the list of enhancements for a future release.
The following are the alternative workarounds:
WORKAROUND1:
1. Re-install SQL Navigator and remember during installation to click option to associate .SQL files with sqlnav5.
2. This will allow to open any .SQL file in Windows Explorer in sqlnav5. By double clicking on such file, SQL Editor opens automatically with this file, but it will be not connected to DB.
3. You can use a shortcut for connection string of required DB, saved earlier in Workspace.
WORKAROUND2:
1. Use a preference called "Auto run script at connect" (in View | Preferences | General |Session) in the following way.
2. In this preference, point to a dummy file with .SQL extension,
3. Upon launching the SQL Navigator, it will connect to a required DB and it will open at the same time SQL Editor with dummy file.
4. You need to delete this file and from SQL Editor.
