Unfortunately, I’m just a developer so I cannot simply go and remove those comments before the CREATE declaration so I’m stuck on version 4.0 and lower. I’ve come to the conclusion that if a package starts out with anything other that CREATE, it will cause sqldeveloper to do inconsistent things. I think this is related to the problems above. I would have to shut down sqldeveloper and reopen it to fix this problem. So in the toolbar there would be no gear icon for compile/compile for debug. Occasionally I notice that my normal packages would not be recognized as plsql but as a normal script. What I found out is that for our normal packages, we have comments that come before the CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE declaration whereas my test procedures just start out with CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE. Then I noticed when testing with bare bones simple test packages, it worked. The Open Declaration would not even be enabled and pressing the control key would not underline in blue. Initially, it didn’t work for 1 and 2 above for our normal packages. It gets interesting when I try to do the above with packages stored in the filesystem. If I ctl-click on a procedure/function in a different package it will just open that package up but not navigate to that procedure/function. If I ctl-click on a procedure/function within the same package, it will take me there. I’ve had 4.1 installed for the past week and have been testing it out.ġ. Paste this into your worksheet, then ctrl+click with your mouse over the table name: Instead of opening a normal ‘hover’ panel, you’ll be taken directly to the object editor for that table, view, etc.

If you don’t like the floating describe windows you get when you do a SHIFT+F4 on a database object, the ctrl+click will work too.


You could try this with “dbms_output.put_line(” too Ctrl+Click, It’s not just for PL/SQL For PL/SQL calls you can open the source immediately based on what you’re hovering over with your mouse cursor. Until then, you can also try the Ctrl+Hover with your mouse. This works just fine, but it will work even better in our next release as we’ve fixed this issue. I neglected to say in yesterday’s post that I was highlighting the package name before I hit SHIFT+F4. If you actually try to describe the package as you see it in the above screenshot, you’ll get an error: Doh! You might get an error if you try to describe this… And just to give a little context, I'm on the M1 MBA with 16GB RAM.In yesterday’s post I talked about you could use SQL Developer’s Describe (SHIFT+F4) to open a PL/SQL Package at your cursor. Again, I use it for very basic CRUD requests, so that's all I've tested it with. In terms of CPU, I've allocated four cores to the VM, but I haven't seen it use any more than 50% of one core.

The VM consumes ~5GB RAM of the 8GB I've allocated to it. Performance-wise, I've found it to be quite snappy (to be fair, I've just tested the basics).
ORACLE SQL DEVELOPER 4.1.1 INSTALL
The install script ( here) from the vagrant project was quite helpful in installing and configuring the DB. I used keyboard to navigate the OL8 installer, and selected the "server" installation mode with headless packages. From what I've read, hardware acceleration doesn't work either, so my recommendation is to stay away from the UI as much as you can. Mouse didn't work for me, so the GUI is pretty much useless.
ORACLE SQL DEVELOPER 4.1.1 MANUAL
The setup, configuration and installation is completely manual and will take a significant chunk of time, but the outcome is pretty satisfactory.

I've had success running Oracle Linux 8 (x86_64) with UTM, and then installing Oracle DB 21c EE in the VM. I've been struggling to find a solution to this for the past couple of days, and finally have a halfway-decent solution.
