So there is. I was looking for it next to the Edit/Save As/Delete buttons
within the Oracle formatting tab.

There’s an export and import button on the preferences panel where you see
the SQL Formatter settings.

I took your sql and ran the formatter with my preferences (commas at the
*beginning
*of a line baby!!) and got the text below. That looks pretty reasonable
to me. I know Jeff Smith reads this group so possibly he'll know if its
possible to export/share preferences. If it isn't seems like a cool
enhancement request to enforce corporate coding styles if nothing else.



SELECT

end_time

, wait_class#

, (time_waited_fg)/(intsize_csec/100)

, ( time_waited) /(intsize_csec/100)

, 0

FROM

v$waitclassmetric

UNION ALL

SELECT

end_time

, -1

, SUM(

CASE

WHEN metric_name = 'CPU Usage Per Sec'

THEN value

ELSE 0

END) fg

, SUM(

CASE

WHEN metric_name = 'Background CPU Usage Per Sec'

THEN value

ELSE 0

END) bg

, SUM(

CASE

WHEN metric_name = 'Average Active Sessions'

THEN value

ELSE 0

END) dbt

FROM

v$sysmetric

WHERE

group_id = 2

AND metric_name IN ('Background CPU Usage Per Sec', 'CPU Usage Per Sec',
'Average Active Sessions')

GROUP BY

end_time

ORDER BY

end_time

, wait_class#

Doesn't work well though.



trailing / left hanging and long lines in SELECT or WHERE clause are not
broken up so they are readable.



I like the plain and simple

FUNCTION

(

FUNC2

(

column_name

)

)



... but have found no way of configuring SQL Dev formatter to do this. For
example, the CASE statements are OK, but what happened with the functions
on the SELECT list?



SELECT end_time, wait_class#, (time_waited_fg)/(intsize_csec/100), (

time_waited) /(intsize_csec/100), 0

FROM v$waitclassmetric

UNION ALL

SELECT end_time, -1, SUM(

CASE

WHEN metric_name = 'CPU Usage Per Sec'

THEN value

ELSE 0

END) fg, SUM(

FROM v$sysmetric

WHERE group_id = 2

AND metric_name IN ('Background CPU Usage Per Sec', 'CPU Usage Per Sec',

'Average Active Sessions')

GROUP BY end_time

ORDER BY end_time, wait_class# /

Hi,



It' s still there in SQL Developer 4.x, you can find it by right-clicking
the SQL text in the SQL sheet or hitting Ctrl+F7.

In version 3.x, there was a SQL Formatter in the "Edit" menu. One
keystroke would reformat horribly tangled SQL monsters. In the version 4.x,
this very useful feature is gone. Why was that done? Who decided to throw
this out and why?
