SQL Navigator for Oracle 7.4 - Release Notes

Code Explorer

Make your work with packages, procedures, and functions more efficient and error-free.

Features

Code Explorer:

  • Is based on an advanced parsing technique that understands PL/SQL syntax.
  • Displays detailed information about a package’s components, such as variables and parameters, their types, structure and cursors.
  • Highlights the packaged procedure you are currently in.
  • Supports drag-and-drop into the editor.
  • Combines information from the specification and body.
  • Distinguishes non-published procedures and functions (by icon).

Working with packages

Work with packages is fast and easy in the Code Editor with the integrated Code Explorer.

The Code Explorer graphically displays a tree-structure view of the package currently in the editor. It shows variables, parameters, record structures, types, cursors, and so on.

The tree-view is synchronized with the editing cursor in the code-editing window, so when you click any package component in the tree-view, you can see the corresponding PL/SQL code in the editing window. Likewise, as you move the cursor in the editing window, the tree-view changes to show the object corresponding to the PL/SQL code at the cursor location.

Auto Reparse

PL/SQL parsing occurs when the editor first loads objects, and in the background as the user edits the code. You can also manually trigger a full reparsing (updating of the internal symbol table) at any time by right-click and select Auto Reparse from the shortcut menu. However, when loading a really large script having this option on will slow down SQL Navigator. Hence, to avoid wasting CPU resources, you should turn this option off when editing large scripts.
