Hi
but SQLCl is CLI correct?
Thanks

Sure it does, SQLcl and SQLDev use the exact same script engine.

Hi
That does make any difference, developers wants to use GUI, not CLI
unfortunately

There are SET commands you can use to define what statement delimiters you
want, but again, at the end of the day, if you’re not testing it exactly as
it’s going to run in production, that’s FAIL.

"*If you know the DBAs are using SQL*Plus to roll out updates, then the

Yes, that is being asked, the developers MUST test their scripts with
SQLPLUS otherwise there is no way to automate updates. But the developers
have never used SQLPLUS so it is very hard to ask them to move from GUI to
CLI. So I was thinking if SQL developer could configure in such a way so
semicolon and backslash can be forced...

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Bad, bad, bad. Developers and DBAs need to agree on
the requirements for production rollouts/promoting code.
If you know the DBAs are using SQL*Plus to roll out updates, then the
developers need to USE SQL*Plus for testing their scripts. It’s that simple.
The DBAs should have figured out by now what was going on and had some
checks in place to prevent this from happening accidently. This is more of
a communication issue than a tooling issue.

Hi
This is for Jeff Smith! :-)
I would like to know why SQL Developer allow people to execute SQL code
without semicolon and PLSQL code with backslash? (OK TOAD does the same
thing but it is not made by Oracle)
For example code such as this works in SQL developer
-- semicolon missing
select * from dba_users
-- backslash missing
declare
l_a number;
begin
select 1 into l_a from dual;
end;
-- backslash missing
create or replace procedure p_test
is
l_a number;
begin
select 1 into l_a from dual;
end;
This is causing some serious conflicts between DBA team and the developers
because the developers write codes in SQL developer then they upload them
as script for the DBA to run in the test/prod environment which all fails
(and plsql objects not created) obecause DBA's uses SQLPLUS and because
most SQL execution request are batched with SQLPLUS.
The developers claim if the code runs in SQL developer it must run in
SQLPLUS because it is a tool from Oracle. Is there a way to configure SQL
Developer so it can have the same behaviour as SQLPLUS?
Thanks
